Default Intermittent Check Engine Light

I have a 2003 Road King with 56k miles. Recently My check engine light comes on intermittently and I can't seen to figure it out.

It sometimes come on right after I start the bike and will go out after 30 seconds or less. Other times it will come on when I'm riding at the high end of the rpm range for a period of time and will go off when I back down a bit.

I've also noticed I'm getting some blow by out of the air cleaner.

Recently changed the cam tensioners and oil pump etc but the check engine light preceded those changes.

Any thoughts?

Get the codes, that will help. Blow by is normal when you run it a little hard.
