I'm having a problem with my 2009 Road King Classic I loss my throttle can any one help the shop can't find anything.

 

check the wiring harness connector at the throttle body, also the throttle switches go bad

 

When you say lost your throttle, what exactly is happening, or not happening?

Is the bike hot or cold when this happens?

More details are needed.

Maybe you misplaced it. Do you remember where you saw it last?

 

I know exactly where it is...

Right where the person who had it in his hand last laid it down!

 

Both times it had been sitting awhile first time after we ate I took off hit third and the motor still running with no throttle. the second time been sitting all day went to leave work same thing.

 

it'll be in the last place you look, id start lookign on the handle bars lol. what exactly has the shop checked? its losing signal somewhere

 

Since you have an '09, I think harleycharlie1992's post is going to be the solution you need. When you describe "you lost the throttle" I think you mean the bike went into its "limp mode" where it'll go along at around 17-20 mph regardless of where you have the throttle.

There is a technical service bulletin related to fretting of the connection pins (TT-418) on the throttle position sensor connection, which especially affects our '09 bikes with its throttle-by-wire. I ride mine rain or shine as a commuter to work, and think that's what caused my problem (moisture + vibration).

Look behind the air cleaner at roughly "8:00" and you'll find a connection about the size of a Hot Wheels car. The push-pin that secures it is behind the connection. Remove and reconnect that connection a half-dozen times or so to try to scrape off any corrosion. Then go to your local auto parts house and get a small thing of dielectric grease. It'll be about the size of a fast-food restaurant ketchup container. Slather that connection with dielectric grease as well as the pins. Reconnect the connection and fire it up.

The "real fix" is a $185 replacement of the pins with gold-plated pins. The solution described above costs you roughly $1.20 with tax. So far it's working just fine, but I haven't been riding it more than a couple thousand miles since applying the dielectric grease, so it may not be a permanent fix. I'll try the cheap solution first, though!

Try that to at least rule it out -- the "limp mode" is a situation that has bit a lot of us. It's a little scary to be moving along in traffic at speed and have the bike decelerate to 17-20 in just a couple of seconds. I wish HD would fix this as a safety issue recall rather than a technical service bulletin.

Hope this helps,
'fooz

 

Glad y'all could 'cipher that one!

 

I had my pins replaced probably 6000 miles ago, and lo and behold, going about 75 on the highway, and it goes into limp mode. Money well spent I would say.
