08 owners beware FBW and Induction Modules
I've been reading on here lately and have seen a few posts where the bike is going into Limp Mode and no Throttle Response and I'm saying I'm not the only one. Wowwwwww thas me man...
Turns out it's not the FBW throttle it's the Induction Module. As for me I purchased my 08 when they first came out and have added alot of goodies like Bars a long time ago (For all you Bagger ape fans) you have to change the or extend the wires right?? And how do you do that by soldering the wires correct? Well thats how i did it b4 there service bulletin came out 2-3 mos ago saying use or don't solder the wires use the harley extend a clip wire harness. just plug and play
So I'm at the stealer one day and they tell me about the problem said it's all warranty and they change my FBW Twist grip and the wiring going thru the fairing. No problems right??
Wronggg Cruising down the Highway the bike backfires all of a sudden and just cuts out
goes into limp home mode (bike idling but no throttle response) pull over and I'm about a good 100 miles from my dealer. So I pull over and try starting it over and over all the way back to the dealer as sometimes it will run and cut out all the way back (Longggg 100 miles man).
See all this Limp Mode started after my wires were replaced they were fine when my tech just soldered them together. No problems at all
Anyways after all this turns out it's the Induction Module.
Has or can anyone relate here??
