2009 Harley-Davidson Flhx Fuel system Problems

“When driving the bike goes in to what they call limo mode , I have no throttle and won't go , it happened many times passing on hi way speeds , local hd dealer don't seem to have a fix , I feel this is a danger and after doing some looking I see thousands of cases like mine , it should be a recall before someone dies its vary dangers .”

“While stopped at red light, as the light turned green, I proceeded to apply throttle with no response. Let out clutch and rolled no faster then 20 MPH while cars were backing up behind me. After rolling at 20 MPH for approximately hundred yards, I was able to pull over in a safe location with out being run over.”

“I was just riding down the I-405 freeway near seattle, wa at about 70 MPH in the left with no shoulder available to pull over onto. The throttle suddenly failed and I had no power. I slowed dramatically and was nearly run over by a truck. I put on my flashers and moved 3 lanes right to get to the shoulder on the right. Traffic was heavy and I was fortunate not to be hit when I had no throttle control. I called a friend and he came about an hour later and towed me home. I feel that I was lucky not to have been hurt or killed in this incident.”

“The problem began around april of 2012. When I started the motorcycle, there was no throttle response. The motorcycle will idle at 1000 RPM but the throttle will not work when twisted to accelerate engine. It remains at idle. It has happened several times and I have to disconnect the battery in order to reset the electronic throttle. Sometimes it works, other times it does not. It also happened various times when motorcycle was in motion at speeds of 45 MPH almost causing me to get struck on highway from behind by another vehicle. …”

“Accelerating from a stop up to speed when lost throttle response, engine would not go above 1500-2000 RPM. Was able to limp to the side of the road. I shut bike down and waited a minute and restarted it. It started up and ran as normal. Talked to my local dealer and made them aware of the problem. They seemed very familiar with this issue and said to bring it in and they would give me a cost to fix. This seems to me to be a severe safety issue that should be on a manufactures recall. What if I were trying to get on the interstate and lost the ability to merge .”
