Top 20 2009 Harley Davidson FLHTCU Ultra Classic Electra Glide Questions & Answers

Possible that the starter pinion gear has come off or the pinion itself is not throwing out to engage on the ring gear. You may have to take the starter out to check and confirm. The solenoid which sits above the starter motor operates the pinion. It throws out the pinion shaft to engage the gear and the starter motor itself, spins it. Once the engine has started, the solenoid retracts the shaft and gear back and away from the ring gear.

Try your local library they have car and motorcycle manuals.

Maybe the fob needs a new battery.

Indicates a problem with the fuel pressure. Code could be caused by excessive tank pressure, (loosen fuel cap then tighten). Code may not clear right away. Could also be a plugged fuel filter or a defective fuel pump. Hope this helps.

Sounds like the assembly may be twisted. Check the mounting bolts and brackets.

Two screws on outside edge of the light. one adjusts vertical and one adjusts horizontal adjustment. One on the side and one on top I think,

pipes been changed ??? air filter as well ??? suspect someones tried to either put a power commander on it or "tune it" if this isn't the issue, suspect internal valve adjustment/cam issues. would need more info because i suspect someones tried to add some Harley power and opps...

check wiring arond the throttle body

Later Harley's (like your husbands) have a system that when the ECU (Electrical Control Unit) senses something wrong, it goes into "limp home" mode, where top speed is limited to 20-25 MPH, just enough to "limp home"First, he needs to check the error codes, or TDCs (Trouble Diagnosis Code(s)).I have a 2008, but the method might be the same for a '09.Make sure the right hand handlebar kill switch is in the "RUN" position.While holding in the odometer reset button, turn ignition switch to "ON".All instrument and warning lights should illuminate, and the speedometer should sweep all the way to maximum, then back to "0" MPH.Scroll through the readings (where the odometer displays) with the reset button, writing down any error codes.

I have a 2008 Road King, so I imagine the method to retrieve the codes would be the same.Retrieve fault codes:With engine run/stop switch in the RUN position, hold odometer reset button while turning ignition switch to ON position.Speedometer back lights wil come on, needle swings to top speed position, indicator lights will come on.Release reset button."diag" should display in odometer.Push and release odometer reset button. The letter "P" will flash (ECM/ICM info obtainable).Record any error codes. If none are present, "NONE" will scroll across screen.Press and hole reset button for more than 5 seconds to go to next mode ("S" = TSM/TSSM/HFSM mode).When done with all modes, switch off ignition.Either look up codes in manual, or repost here.

If it's not the bald is the wiring or fuse start wherever you had the easiest access

it is coming from the crankcase vent behind the air filter, some companies offer a kit if it causes a problem for you.

Have you pulled any error codes?If so, what are they?I have a troubleshooting flow chart for a 08 Road King, it might be close enough for ya.From your description, it's going into "limp" mode, so it can limp home.Pull any error codes and repost them.

There's probably a sensor in your throttle housing that regulates the amount of fuel that goes through the throttle body to the engine. The sensor could be located on the throttle or you may have a bad throttle body. There are computers on both ends. I believe you ought to call the dealer and find out

Verify the temperature unit is not bad. Should not be running so hot this time of year. I suspect you have a bad tempature sending unit.

attatch the spring first before the pivot bolt...you can then use the stand as a leverage handle to line the holes up for the bolt against the spring tension.

Your bike has "throttle-by-wire" instead of cables.From different forums, quite a few people complain about the same thing.It is claimed that the dealership can plug into the ECM and do a little programming to ease/alleviate the problem, so you might call and check.

Check to make sure the connectors in the back of the radio are not loose. If this isn't the problem, the radio may have to be sent in for repair.

Take out the old one and put it in. Take the cover off, don't break the light, but it probably pushes in turn to the left, the right and then pops out when you buy the new light look at it, see if it has two little nipples sticking out
