I don't know which ones they put in. They didn't say. and no part number on the invoice.
but the second dealer said they had a dyna (I think) in with the same problem as mine, and that was the case the wrong injectors 8 vs 25.
But the dealer says they checked mine and that is not the case.

I've heard of the 06's having sputtering and stalling problems, but most have been described @ low speed.

Seems like you indicated that one of the dealerships swapped the injectors. Did they replace them with the "25degree" units or another set of "8degree" injectors.

I recently read something written by someone far smarter than me indication that the injector problem was not necessarilly the 8degree injectors, but variation in flow rate (greater than 2%) between the installed injectors ~ front vs. rear. This kinda makes sense, as some folks "had problems" and some did not.

Sorry I can't offer any wisdom on your problem, as my bagger is an 05. The 06's are quite a bit different, so comparisons would be usless.

Hope they get ya fixed up once & for all.

Good luck!

Sounds to me like the loss of power could be attributed to a faulty repair but crashing as a result of losing power while attempting a pass is rider error. Sue yourself for the crash and the dealership to fix the engine

Check the wreckage for excess oil in the crankcase. It isn't that hard to tear an oil pump o-ring. You still get plenty of oil pressure, but the crank can't spin up with the sump full.

Sounds like you really need an expert witness to look at the ECM and fuel management system-- a faulty one could misread the speed or other inputs and prevent you from accelerating or maintaining a speed.

As for requesting information, I wish you good luck. In fairness to anyone responding, it would probably be helpful to caution them that by responding with information about a similar experiencethey will probably undergo an interview of some kind by you or your attorney and, if a lawsuit if filed, probably be deposed by your attorney and defense counsel. An anonymous or non-anonymous reply here or via email/telephone conversation, etc.will not be admissible evidence or verycredible forsettlement negotiation purposes.If the statute of limitations has not expired since their experience and they had a wreck with or without personal injuries, they may have a suit of their own; but if the s of l has expired, they are probably sol.

Glad you weren't badly injured and I hope everything works out well for you.

Expert witnesses can be expensive, but that's where I think your best bet is as far as showing the probable cause of the experience you had and the failure of the "expert" HD techs to properlyidentify your problem.

Re-read your original post; suggest you edit out the part about running 112-115 mph on your bike prior to experiencing problems, unless you were doing so on a closed course. Also, wouldn't want to admit violating posted speed limit at time of crash. As you describe the event, you were probably on a two lane road when you tried to execute a pass at 65 mph or faster and the bike faltered. In Georgia, we don't have two lane roads with posted speed limits as high as 65; don't know where you crashed but something else to consider and I am sure your lawyer is or has.

I have a friend with an '06 Ultra that stumbled and ran poorly off idle. Hehad the injectors changed under warranty (not a recall but one of those "performanceenhancer" deals) that curedthe problem. He never had problems with it pulling at speed.

Maybe you're using bad fuel.
