Bad acceleration

hey guys I have a 2016 sportster 48 and Im have trouble with my bike. Occasionally after my bike has been running for awhile at random times the bikes will struggle to accelerate and act as if its getting starved of fuel or misfiring. When i get get heavy on the throttle itll start having a popping/gurgling sound like popcorn out the exhaust and have no power whatsoever. Happens in every gear also. After i shut the bike off for awhile it runs fine then happens again eventually.

Check for intake and exhaust leaks, also possible pinhole in fuel line inside the tank or dirty filter. Have your fuel pressure tested.
