I have a 2006 street glide. Here the last few days it seems like it has bad gas or water in the tank but I eleminated that problem. When I run it and let off throttle it pops and backfires. When I'm at low speeds I have to keep on throttle to keep running. What are you guys thoughts on this? Maybe fuel pump or something.

Brandon,

Do you have a FSM? Good to have if you don’t.
Have you checked for diagnostic error codes?
Search these items listed below and check (before having it towed to your shop of choice);

Pin holes in the in-tank fuel lines
Throttle Position Sensor
Dirty Idle Air Control
Dirty Speed Sensor

Welcome from PA

If injected, try cleaning the IAC. It’s at the 12 o’clock position on the throttle body. Generously spray it with some carb cleaner.

Try spraying the IAC with Mass Airflow Sensor Cleaner not carb cleaner. Carb cleaner will leave a residue after it dries and jack up the IAC even further. Mass Airflow Sensor Cleaner doesn't leave any residue after it dries.
