08 Lowrider dying
So here's my issue. I have an 08 Lowrider just out of the "break-in" stage (575 miles as of this afternoon). I followed the break-in procedure to a tee, never exceeding the MPH or RPM limits prior to reaching 500 miles. Since reaching the 500 mile mark the bike has been to 70-74 mph on the interstate twice (each time for 3 miles as i only need to travel one exit). On the way home this afternoon it died at a light.[] \\;The next stop it tried to do the same but i kept it running by giving it some throttle. The next stop it died again [:@]! It was kinda low on the fuel guage so i stopped and filled it up thinking maybe the guage was off and it wasn't getting fuel constantly. This didn't stop the problem. I also noticed it kinda cuttin out as i rode along. Anyone else experience this? I WILL be back at the dealer first thing in the am! No way i'm dropping this kinda money for this.

First thought is maybe some bad gas, \\; if there was any water in the tank, it may be causing the issue. I wound up topping mine off at a station that got it's first load of ethenol, and did not treat the storage tank \\; ahead of time, the water mixed with the gas and caused the same thing \\; on my 08. \\; In my case I called the gas station, they admited they had a problem, and the wholesaler paid to have my tank pulled drained, cleaned , and re filled at my dealer. \\;

Went by the dealer today and had them check it out. They were really busy with lots of folks there and i wasn't sure they would even look at it. But, they did check it out and the head wrench told me it was the throttle position sensor. He ordered one and I should have it by Monday or Tuesday. Just thought I would let you guys know what i found out in case someone else encounters this problem.
