“Complete throttle failure at highway speed. Error codes collected indicate electronic throttle response failure. I have experienced this failure on multiple occasions. Postings on hd forums indicate the problem is wide spread on hd motorcycles from 2008 forward with an electronic throttle control system. This is an extremely dangerous hazard for which hd has failed to accept responsibility or offer to correct. Please investigate!”
