Default 2011 Wide Glide Question

Evening guys and ladies,
I recently purchased a 2011 Wide Glide with about 6,500 miles. It has Vance and Hines Short Shots and a Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather. I have put about 1,000 miles on it in the last few weeks, and twice it has "hiccuped." I'll be riding along, 50 - 55 mph, and I'll here a "hiss" come out of the breather, and the engine will completely lose power for about a second, and then will return to normal.

Any ideas? Where should I start?



Thanks,
Dustin

Been hearing alot of talk about the C type tappets that HD started using in 2010. People are having problems failing with low milage.
Just a thought

Not sure what tune it has. Looked at it last night, and didn't see any onboard tuners or any Fuelpaks. Seems as if maybe there's not even a tune on it? Certainly a dealership wouldn't resell a bike with those upgrades without seeing if there's a tube. Or maybe I'm just naive!

What should I expect to pay for a dealer tune? Or would a tuner work? Definitely looking for more reliability than having it tuned to get the last .01 lb of torque out of it.
