Question Rough ride

I have a 2015 Street Glide Special with 5,000 miles. Rode it to work this morning and it was fine. Went out to lunch about 2 hours ago and after about a mile at the red light the engine starting running really rough and I though it was going to stall out but it didn't. I hit the throttle and it kind of burped and it did a small backfire or pop and then it ran fine as I went down the road. Parked for awhile and then took of and it road fine for the first mile then it started doing it again. Anyone have any ideas?

Clean and tighten battery cable ends before you do anything else. Are you running OEM spark plugs?
