Well, I have about 1300 miles on the Pan Am and about 45 days ago, I was getting on the highway, starting to merge and it immediately went in to limp mode. I was getting in to 70-75 MPH traffic. Luckily, I caught a sense of the tone on acceleration and stayed right and was able to get on the shoulder pretty quickly. Secondarily, it was a toll road and an NTTA truck was right there and kicked his lights on as soon as I hit the hazards and pulled in behind me (This could have been catastrophic.). I left the bike off for a few minutes and it fired back up fine, I finished my trip to a dealer event (not my dealer and asked them to take a look. They didn't put much effort in to it, but explained the codes they saw and none correlated to any issues similar to mine. Oddly, it did it to me a second time the same day, but on surface streets and not accelerating. The bike Revved up and then went to limp mode, giving throttle was almost like it was starving for fuel.
Aside from the event, I dropped the bike at the dealer the beginning of April and they said they they could not replicate it. They rode it 60+ miles, they put it on a dyno, they did this and that, etc... I went in to pick it up Saturday and they pulled it out front and left it running, low and behold, I am signing the work order and I hear my bike revving. I walked out, to everyone staring at my bike revving itself to 4000 RPM, ran back in the service doors and told them the issue was happening right now. The Service Manager came out and the screen was flickering a 0 MPH, but nothing else. He shuts it down and they pulled 2 new codes they did not have prior. I see the Tech walking around with the book, baffled. They called MoCo and nothing. They did a new work order and put it back in the service bay.
I read a few posts about Limp Mode, but they did not seem to be as intermittent, they all seem to be related to hard acceleration. Does anyone else have similar issue with the Limp Mode and Revving while idling? I am perplexed, this definitely feels like it could be a common issues and in my mind, should be a recall if it is do to the potential cause of getting hit.
