What owners report
WHILE PASSING A VEHICLE AT 55 MPH MY MOTORCYCLE THROTTLE BY WIRE SYSTEM WENT INTO THE LIMP MODE (THE THROTTLE IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING). I'M AM BESIDE THE VEHICLE I'M ATTEMPTING TO PASS AND HAD A DIFFICULT TIME TRYING TO GET BACK INTO THE DRIVING LANE. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO DO SO BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE SINCE 2008 WITH THE THROTTLE BY WIRE SYSTEM. IT IS A MANUFACTURERS DESIGN DEFECT AND WHY HARLEY HAS NOT RECALLED IT IS BEYOND ME.
