Default 2002 Roadglide FLTRI Sputtering

I own a 2002 Roadglide FI. Recently, in the hot weather it's been sputtering / missing when starting from a complete stop, like when you're stopped at a red light and the light turns green. The bike has 40,000 miles on it. It's stock except for a stage 1 and screaming eagle mufflers. I'm the original owner and it has been well maintained. The bike has always, on occasion spit or popped out of the filter/breather when it's hot out. I know this is kind of normal. What's been happening is more than that. It doesn't seem like a misfire. The bike just sputters once or twice and then clears and she's fine. I'm going to change the plugs, but I don't think that's the cause. They're pretty new. It doesn't seem to be a spark issue, but I could be wrong. I was thinking maybe it's the fuel filter or fuel pump. The bike has 40k like I said. Can anyone help? Anyone have the same problem?
