Default 05 lowrider fi with low speed hesitation

Yesterday I was riding and noticed my bike had a low speed hesitation. Just cruising it would stutter or miss but under full throttle it performs great. When it stutters it has a slight pop in the pipes. Any help would be great.

Sounds a little lean on the low end. Hows the intake gaskets? they are 10 years old. Could be sucking air or Might need to get it to a tuner.......

This is what I was thinking. Some sort of intake leak.

On my 05 road king, I'm having similar issues. But I have noticed that it isn't as bad on a full tank of gas. Would this be something else?

Some bikes have had a problem with the fuel line in the gas tanks getting a hole worn thru them. Only way to tell is to take it apart and look for it. If that's the problem, you'll need a new hose. You can slide the old hose over the new one' to prevent it from happening again.,,
