I pulled the maxi fuse.

Our bikes are slightly different than cars and trucks, because this can be achieved a majority of the time, by just pulling the maxi-fuse. If nothing else, and as an added safety precaution, it can't hurt anything.

I didn't do either. I figured I was just connecting and disconnecting plugs so what the hell. Probably my own fault. I am sure I caused my own codes and problems. Happened only once to me. Has been prefect since. I am willing to bet that when you disconnect the throttle grip sensor that the ecm sees it somehow. I just never even thought of clearing codes when I was done. Next time I will know.

I went a head and followed your instructions on resetting the TPS before I left work tonight. I also cleared my codes last night per some earlier instructions.I only rode a few miles today but so far no issues. I will update if I have anymore information to share. I might add I'm really surprised this happened since I did not splice any wires but instead replaced the throttle sensor with a new one that has extended wires.
here is a read explaining the P2135 http://www.scribd.com/doc/55139820/2...ouring-TT418-1

I was struggling with the same codes and the bike going into limp mode for about a month. I changed the TGS(twist grip sensor) to no avail, cleaned the pins on the ECM, pulled the connector apart on the throttle body and cleaned it up, no fix. I found that all of the fuses in my fuse box were corroded and some of them were sooty as if they had been burned. I cleaned it all up and have put 500 miles on it since with no issues, runs better than it did before the throttle issue. I have an 09 SG with 26k miles.

Engine light
Hi, I have a 2009 road glide. I was going down the freeway and all of sudden the bike seem like it was starving for fuel and my engine light came on. I went from 80mph to about 10mph. Stop and shut down my engine for a few minutes and started it back up with no problem except my engine light came on for about 8 seconds then off. Was able to ride home (25 miles) without any problems. The engine light still comes on for 8 sec after starting up then goes away. Bike runs fine. Read the forums (thanks for the info everybody) and did the diagnostic. Came up with the same codes you did - P1511 and P2135. Did the clear process yesterday and the engine light does not come on anymore. Hope it stays that way.
I know what the codes are from the diagnostic but did you ever find out what they mean or what to look for ?
Somebody mention there bike went into a safety mode. What is a safety mode ? Can someone elaborate on this. Thanks.

TPS resetting question
I am having exactly the same issues as C908. Same codes - same symptoms
3 questions.
1.) If I reset the TPS is there any down side to this. ie could this reset the TPS to a incorrect setting?
2.) I am on vac this week and would like to ride. Am I going to ruin anything by riding with this happening. I cannot get an appointment at the dealer until later in the week.
3.) Anyone have any advise for me to correct this myself?
I should add that this first occurred after washing the bike.
