Default Tuning question...

I know I have a softail, but I also know that a lot of you guys know harley's inside and out and I was hoping for some of your expertise.

I have a PCIII with a dyno tuned map. I have almost 4000 miles on it since the tune. I still get a pop every now and then, about once every 50 miles or so. It mainly only does it between shifts, if I am getting on it out of a stoplight or something. I have not noticed any issues as far as poor throttle response, hesitation or anything like that. The engine temp has never gotten over 230 here in the Texas summers (90+ degrees), and usually runs 210-220. So, is it worth the expense and time to have it retuned? I haven't checked my plugs b/c I really don't know what to look for.


thanks for any help you can give.
