I had a similar problem with my 02 Wolvy. As you might know, there's a rev limiter incorporated with the parking brake. I had mine to the dealer - he fiddled with the parking brake lever on the bars (sprayed it/worked it)and that fixed the problem. Apparently, they're known for this problem - sometimes, the switch in the parking brake lever intermittently engages the brake limiter, of course, when you don't want it to.

Hope this helps
