RE: Throttle by wire issue ( search no workie) UPDATE
I traded in my 03 standard for a 08 ultra and after putting on about 4500 miles, I noticed that after the bike warmed up the throttle response had a slight delay especially if you were stopped on a slight upgrade. I started to take off from a upgrade position and the throttle seemed to me to lag , I pulled in the clutch but before I could give the bike more gas down I went. 5 years and 20,000 miles and I never came close to that happening to me. It only seems to happen when the bike warms up.

I will never trust fly by wire throttle.....There is just too much at chance and too many reports of flakey and unpredictable reactions for me to risk the slow speed balet I perform whenever I need to.

Just wanted to add my experience to this thread. Mine had sluggish throttle response also. I tried the recalibration procedure mentioned earlier. It no longer has any hesitation at all. I can blip the throttle in neutral while stopped or blip it to downshift and it's right there! It's now every bit as responsive as you would expect something fuel injected to be. Give it a try and see if it doesn't work for you also![8D]
