    Having the same issue. Bike just went into limp mode on the highway. Scared the shit put me. 😂. Pulled over and it started back up. Finally got it home after three more times. Found this video and going home today and try it.

    Thank you, I had the same issue. I stalled on the freeway and couldn't clear the ECM code and rode the bike home with a rough idle. I watch your video, re-seated the emc connectors and was able to clear the codes. readjusting my connections under the seat now.

    I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you! I was having trouble not being able to reset my TPS codes and one of your trouble spots was the problem! The ECM connector was not making a good connection. Evidently when I replaced my battery I must not have snapped the locking clamp fully and it loosened up. Great video for troubleshooting this issue

    The connector in the bars also corrodes causing problems , the S E twist grip sensor does not have the connector and has longer wire , or you could cut the connector out and solder longer wire on insulated well . Some times you can unplug and plug in the throttle body connector 2-3 times and it gets better contact , if thats the problem . The ecm plugin , if you noticed has a bunch of pins , easy to bend , fold over and break , or bend over and short circuit . I used the S E twist grip sensor when I put LA chopper 10" twin peaks on 08 ultra the wire reached all the way to the plugin with just a little slack left . I also bought a spare throttle body off a 2010 wreck , they had a video of it running , out side of the injectors and map sensor , the electronic part of the throttle body is not repairable , its a throw away .

    Thanks for the video! I believe what I am experiencing is due to the limp mode issue with eratic idling, losing throtle connection when I hit a bump, etc. Anyways, I have another issue where I turn on my ignition and I do not have power, intermittently. I may see the lights flicker and then no power. It seems that I don't have a complete circuit with the ignition. I do have a new battery and I have checked all fuses and relays. I'm wondering if the issue you are describing you are having with the ECM connection also had you not able to close the circuit when you turn on th ignition. I get it to close the circuit after I bounce on the seat a few times which is why I thought of the ECM connection, maybe not closing the loop. Thanks in advance!

    I'm wondering if my Ultra Classic has the same problem. What happens is I'll be riding down the road and suddely the engine goes to idle and the throttle will not increase rpm. So I pull over to the shoulder of the road ,restart my bike and it seems normal. But then it happens again in a few miles. Also I've noticed my engine light coming on for about 10 seconds when I start the bike. Thanks for the video. I'm going to check all the areas you mentioned here.
