I've got a problem
'The wife and I started to head up towards WVA on our 2010 Limited this morning. We stopped for gas and hit the road. Got about a mile from the gas station and all of a sudden lost all power. Thought it had quit but then realized it was barely running. The check engine light came on as soon as the power dropped.We were only about four miles from home, so we headed back at 10-15 mph. Stopped a couple of times and turned it off. As some as it restarted, the check engine light would come back on and almost no throttle, I could just barely hear it speed up when I would turn the throttle all the way. Tried it several times after I got it home into the garage, same results, no throttle. I have one of the Rev Performance tuners on it, so I tried unhooking it and hooking the original O2 sensors up and starting the engine. Same results. Waited about twenty minutes while I looked through the service manual and online to see if there was anyway to read the codes. I decided to try it again and when it started the check engine light didn't come back on. Grabbed a handful of throttle and it revved up normally. I unhooked the the old sensors and hooked the Rev Performance system back up and same thing, it runs normally.
Anyone got any ideas? I'm about afraid to take it out on the road and having it do the same thing again. We got lucky this time, next time we might not be that close to home.

The bike went into "limp home" mode. Usually when you cycle the ign switch 3 times w/o starting the bike, it'll reset it. However, the fact that it went into limp home mode, something is causing it.
2010 should be under warranty, definitely ask the dealer to check it. It happened to me, due to my stupidity, I f**ked up the ECM plug, not all pins making contact. But in your case, I suspect is something totally different since you haven't remove, and replugin the ECM.
Let us know how it turns out. Ride safe....

BTW, the dealer I bought the bike form didn't want to work on it before I did anything to my Limitede, since I changed pipes, mufflers, intake, cams and installed a tuner, I'd say I couldn't get them to touch it under warrenty.

Take that plug off the side of the throttle body behind the air cleaner and get some dielectric grease in there. Also get some in that ecm connection. probably just bad connections. I use the stuff on everything i come across on my 08

Thanks, TickTock, just read the codes.
P1511-EFI power management mode.
P2135-TPS Correlation error
p2176EFI closed position not learned.
The first error probably means it was in limp mode, now I wonder what the other two mean.

go to a different dealer if you can. a guy i ride/work with has a '10 SE Ultra with the usual bolt ons and also the 110" upgrade kit and they still will honor the warranty. The responsibility falls on the dealer/manufacturer to prove that any mods you added caused whatever the problem is.
