The problem that Im having with my 2008 H/D FLHX is that the check engine light comes on and remains on for approx. 20 secs. after starting. I’ve taken back to the dealer from whom it was purchased and they were unable to find the issue. Also, i took it to a second dealer andthey thought they found the problem, but riding it for approx. 10 miles, I loss trottle power. After stopping and restarting the engine, the check came back on. I only have 2,800 miles on the bike………
