Default Losing power

Hey all. It’s been a while since I rode, broken hand since April. But anyway. I was riding then and all of a sudden it seemed like I lost power for a few seconds and then it kicked back up. I was just wondering if it’s a Fuel issue, maybe moisture, I don’t get to ride that much so maybe the fuel in it from last year. Just hoping for suggestions. It’s a 2009 Crossbones. Less than 10k on it.

It could be fuel related... but it could be so many other things too..

It may have been a glitch, something loose/dirty like an electrical connection/ground, or something signaling it's about to fail

Did it throw any codes...?? That could lead you in the right direction..

I do not have a diagnostic tool to figure that one out

You don't need a tool, you can get them from your odometer window in the speedo..
