Default Check Engine Light comes on, then loses Throttle

I have a 2009 Ultra Classic and since the bike has been a year old I keep having this problem... I have had it at 3 different dealers and they can not figure it out. I will be riding and the light comes on and I lose all control of my throttle. It does nothing but idles. I turen bike off, wait a while, wiggle systen relay then it starts. Sometimes this happens 3 or 4 times whiler riding or its ok for days without a problem. I have had the throttle cartridge changed out twice so I know its not that. Someone told me to change the whole fuse box out. I also have had it checked out at 1 dealer and he said it was the system relay, he changed it and it ran fine for about 3 months then the problem started all over again.Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, HarleyDudeEd

Do you ever cut off the engine and let it coast before parking? I have had something similar happen to me once. Took it to the dealer and that's what I was asked. Reason given to me is that the ECM reads some sort of memory of the last RPM before killing the engine. Therefore, I gave it a shot after I disconnected the battery to clear any memory, ensured to not kill the engine, letting it coast before parking and the issue has never occurred again. Just a thought and sharing my experience. Good luck.

try using the updated pins (2010 and newer) on the throttle body end.

This exact same thing started happening to me today! 2009 Street Glide with V&H Slip-on's, PC5. It's done it three times to me this afternoon, once on ride into town (12 miles) and then twice on return trip after sitting in parking lot for about 30 min.
