“Motorcycle goes into limp mode without notice losing power until speed drop to below 20 MPH. it will limp along at 17 mph, but at highway speeds or busy roadway leads to dangerous situations. I had it to the dealer twice and they contacted Harley and they know it is a safety hazard, but they claim not to have a solution. It has happened to me personally 8 times and other riders with similarly models.”
