Default 2010 SG Induction Module Problems.....again

Hope no one out there has had the same problems that I have been experiancing with my 2010 SG ( 16,000 miles ). At the end of July my ride $hit the bed with "induction module" problems....a "restricted" part from Harley. Waited almost 2 months for said part to come in from a supposedly new vendor. NO ride for the down time. No loaner or rental from dealer or Harley. Well......got my ride back 3 weeks ago and after about 1800 miles...yup you got it...same problems and funny noises from the "NEW" induction module. WTF ! I will keep you posted on the outcome, and the new bull$hit from Harley !

Sorry to hear about your induction module prob - can you describe the "funny noises"?

Yes...... when you start the fuel injection process instead of the soft whine it is a loud vibrating noise (Woody Woodpecker). Dealer says it is the throttle plate out of control.

Interesting. When do you hear it - is it at idle, cruise, or only acceleration?

I have the exact same problem on my Road King. Here it is the start of a beautiful 3 day weekend (Columbus Day Weeken) its 80 degrees out. and I'm screwed. Took the bike to Waugh Harley Davidson in Orange Virginia and they have to special order the part. Hopefully I dont have to wait as long as Stumpy did. They told me I would have the part next week but it was restricted item.

sorry to hear that !!

i literally had to tow mine in from vermont (100 miles) across the border for the same issue, left me stranded on the side of the road, all the vermont dealers were closed on mondays, no way I was gonna stay there for a couple days.

they are claiming it will be on the road by the end of the week, hoping that holds true

2011 RK, in the past 3 weeks, ive replaced front master cylinder, clutch, TBW and now this.......thank gawd ive got an extended warranty

Three times the same problems. Nothing for 10 months then boom! Lost all acceleration, stranded, breakdown, garage(hd dealers) France.
Estimate for the notorious fuel module kit €800. Same price last year for my clutch bearing repair. Despite my love of my ride I would consider changing make of bike just to get something more reliable at a lower cost. Ridiculous problems from the world's best known company.

So, how many riding miles do you figure you missed? 20 or 25?

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Maybe you want to check into an aftermarket module like S&S or HPI? I'm not on top of all current events but haven't heard of this issue before. Looks like several others report the same issue. Also old enough bikes the moco won't give much of a **** about it.
