Default 2008 Street Glide problem

I have a 2008 Street Glide. It runs good but every once in awhile it seems to be running on one cylinder. So I cruise home with it and the next day it runs fine. Can anyone tell me what to check. Thanks in advance

Is the EITMS kicking in while you're stopped at a light or creeping along in traffic?

It may be the eitms , (heat management ), kicking in ... You have not mentioned if this happens when its hot , and in heavy traffic , etc ...
It may be going into Limp mode, ( search here , or google)... If you know how to pull error codes, post them up .... If your not savvy with all this, go to dealer , let them do a diagnostic test of system, it should show up the intermittent problem, it one exists ...

check the electrical lines to the fuel injectors, under the tank. Used to be known problem with those.
