“Finally got the bike back after 7 days in the shop. I was entering the highway under acceleration and the bike went into limp mode. I managed to pull over to the shoulder without getting run over. Called the local hd dealer from the shoulder. When I got off the phone the bike started normally, so I rode it directly there with the service engine light on. They kept it all week to replace the vehicle speed sensor. It was delivered to my house 7 days later and rolled into the garage. Started to take it out the next morning. Got about 1 mi away before it went into limp mode. …”
