Find Harley Davidson's Tech Tip # 418, if you are concerned on what to do after and/or how to prevent the problem from occurring. Mine did the limp mode and I cleaned the pins and greased them as per the TT 418, no more problems. Your dealer should be aware of this tip.

D'Artagnan;

Sounds like you've got a "Lemom Law" situation. Have you dropped the phrase at the Service Counter?
