Default PCV Cut out

It never happened before but on my last run I had two seperate incidents when the engine would just for a split second cut out.
2010 Limited w/103, Stage 1, dyno tuned, runs perfect otherwise.

Loose connection?
Water?
Fuel?
What goes on?

Mine's done that twice. Didn't get a check engine light. Didn't check to see if it threw a code. Felt like one cylinder missed a beat then ran fine. Happened the same way both times and the 2 incidents were thousands of miles apart. Cecil

My 08' SG did the same thing twice and here is the reason. The PC-V and the throttle by wire on these bikes have a communication problem when the bike gets shifted at full throttle very fast (speed shifting). The motor seems to hit the rev limiter and shuts the motor down. I had to stop the bike and wait a minute then the bike would start right back up. Is this what happens on your bike?

This is one of the reasons I did not put another PC-V on my new 10' RKC. I talked to numerous HD mechanics about this and all said the same thing, communication problem. The other thing was the tach not working above 5K, another communication problem on the PC-V. Yes, I know most swear by the PC-V, I swore at it. Decided to go with a SEPST w/dyno tune and have not had any problems with it, in fact this is the smoothest running motor I have ever owned. JMO

I don't know about speed shifting but mine will do it every now and then just tooling down the highway at a constant speed. Kinda weird.
