Author Message   Bgdadddy Posted on Thursday, March 18, 2010 - 04:34 pm:        Hi All, Newbie here. I just bought an '06 Ulysses and it is bogging down bad between 3,000 and 4,000 RPM. Its mostly noticeable in the higher gears on the highway. It almost feels like the motor is shutting off and starting up again. It has been in the shop for a week now. They have replaced the exhaust actuator valve and are trying the throttle body valve/sensor next. They say if that doesn't fix it its probably the ECM. Has anyone ever had this happen before? Any idea what an ECM costs? Thanks!   Froggy Posted on Thursday, March 18, 2010 - 05:30 pm:        Being that you just bought the bike, and you don't know its history, I would change both the plugs and plug wires. If the wires are chafed, they can be grounding out to the motor.
