Yes. Here are the codes after I have been riding for a while and have experienced issues:
P0118: ET sensor hi
P0134: Fr. O2 inactive
P0154: R. O2 inactive
P1353: Fr. cyl. no combustion
P1356: R. cyl. no combustion
P0031: F. HO2 sensor low/ open
If I clear the codes and run the bike without experiencing any issues. I just get the codes that everyone gets from running PCV.

I have a '12 Streetglide, I had the no throttle and limp home mode more than I care to talk about. Changed the pins as well as the connector (gasket inside the connector was destroyed) on the throttle body and felt really confident the "problem " was solved.
45 miles later, same issue.
Short story, the connector (small green one with 6 wires) for the FBW throttle in the handlebar turned out to be the culprit.
I cut the connector out and soldered the wires together. There is enough slack, not a lot, but enough
If you have to do this mod, be careful as there are 2 sets of the same color wires...don't mix them up.
Oh yeah, there is a 99.9% chance you will break the clip on the green connector but who cares, you will be cutting it out anyway.

A problem from the past that is still with us today.
I had never experienced this with my '09 RKC until the very day that I was trading it in on my '17 FLHR.
Because I live in the sticks, the dealer was delivering the new bike and picking up the old one. When we started the old bike, it wouldn't rev at all, but ran fine. The delivery driver said "they all do this" and we pushed the bike into the trailer.
Whatever it was, it wasn't a big deal to them, but it would have been a big deal to me if it had happened on the road.
