Default sudden engine rev

i have a 2010 ultra limited . sitting at a red light and the engine starts to sound like its laboring like the rear cylinder is shutting down. the the bike starts moving forward on its own so i start braking to keep from moving forward then as the light changes im at about 4000 RPM and have no throttle control scars the hell out of me am trying disabling the cylinder shut down to see if that is the problem, any thoughts thanks

Don't have any advice for Your problem, other than getting it to the dealer for warranty repair.

So your clutch and your throttle are screwed up? I would call them right then and there and tell them to come get it.
