2008 Harley-Davidson Flhtcu Fuel system Problems

“I own a 2008 harley davidson flhtcui. I have had it in the shop three times because of this same problem. It has an electronic throttle. It will only idle. Right now. It has been in the shop for 3 weeks and the dealer claims they cannot get the needed part for another 3 weeks. It is an upgraded part. I feel a recall is warranted. It did this when I was going down the road.”

“While riding in residential area bike began lurching and unable to maintain constant speed or RPM. Took to shop and they stated bike did not have any codes displaying. They lubricated all connections on throttle assembly and it temporary resolved issue. Now when I start the bike the throttle is unresponsive and bike is not able to be driven. Sometimes shutting down and restarting will temporarily resolve issue, however, bike is not safe to ride. I believe this is a safety issue and warrants a recall, however not recalls to date.”

“My motorcycle when I started remained at high idle and would not reduce to normal. I was with a group of riders who were leaving so I took off as is and when coming to a stop the bike only slowed to 2000 RPM's almost causing me to run into car ahead of me. This problem occurs intermittently and motor company instruction was to use a idle reset procedure consisting of turning the ignition on-off 4 times. This worked for a few starts then would occur again. …”

“I had just got on i65 heading south. I went maybe 2 miles, and all of the sudden, my motorcycle acted like it had just ran out of gas. Or somebody had hit the kill switch. I know it had gas. As it was winding down in revolutions, I tried everything with throttle, kill switch, ignition switch. When I finally stopped, I tried starting it, nothing. It acted like I had no gas. I opened the tank and rocked the bike a little, and I had at least a half a tank like my gauge read. After getting it home I punched my VIN number in to he's recall page, and there was a recall for the fuel filter enclosure. …”

“2008 ultra classic electra glide harley davidson. Gas tank lining pealed off inside the tank resulting in shedding fuel filters, line, pump, injectors. All parts inside the tank hand to be replaced. $1800 worth of parts plus the tank had to be blasted and recoated $600. Power would cut out when riding motor would quit.”
