11 Wide Glide Backfiring and losing power
My 2011 Wide Glide started this today. While riding it will pop and sputter, losing power. At first it was gentle, so much so I assumed it was my imagination. After about 15-20 min riding it got worse. It is cutting power when under load and the speedo will drop very quickly, faster than I'm actually losing speed. When I come to a full stop it stalls out. It restarts no problem then starts again when i get into 2nd gear. Ideas? BTW it's got extended warranty.

I was having the same problem on my 11 Street Bob, took it in.
They adjusted the clutch which improved it a lot, but I still get it once in a while (need to take it back in). I've noticed (unless it's my imagination) that it seems to be happening more when I'm lower on gas, so my guess is I also have a pin hole in my fuel line. I'll let you know what they say when I take my ride back in again.

Where is it popping?
Popping in the exhaust is usually from a fouled plug, maybe a plugged air filter, leaking fuel inhjector, or incorrect fuel mapping
Popping in the air cleaner is usually from a lean condition like maybe the pinhole in the fuel line or a plugged fuel filter or maybe a fuel pump going out.

Don't understand Drop Fills as i dont use the fuel pack however, I have got a Power Commander wet and had to reset it then reinstall the map to overcome a fuel issue.
Popping throught he exhaust is most likely a fouled plug, if yo have another set, pull and change noting if what you remove is sooted with carbon. Also look to see if both or only 1 is sooted as another way to soot the plug is for the coil to intermittently misfire. If you only have 1 sooted chances are you may want to investigate the ignition system, bad coil or wire. Or maybe you just got a bad plug and changing the plugs will solve the problem.
