Default Street glide won't accel

Turn it on, blip the throttle, fuel injector light comes back on, twisting the throttle does nothing. Any ideas? This is seriously cramping my style.

Thanks.

I've seen that once on a newer fly by wire bike.
Turns out the connector was unplugged at the servo behind the air cleaner.

This is happening more and more often. Try checking the connections behind your air cleaner that connect to the TBW. If nothing is loose, call the closest dealer and get a tow, sounds like your TPS module crapped out.

I read you can turn the ignition on/off 3 times and then start the bike? That may clear the code and let it run normally? (for now)
