If I understand correctly what you mean by "chug" then yes, I did have them but not very often. That means that while riding I would feel for a second that the engine was cut off but then return back to work normally.
We did check the wiring as well did Harley.
I do have a factory service manual as well.

It ran good, but would chug for a split second, not very often.
Checking the wiring, the coil, wires, plugs found nothing.
Read your service manual on checking the module.
Remove the cover, run it to op temp, then use a hair dryer and heat the module up. It may show if the module is bad or not.
The manual tells how to do it. Worth checking so you know.

It's a good chance that it's the relay as noted before. Make sure that the contacts are clean and add some dielectric grease to the contacts. The relays are known to go bad and leave you stranded at the worst time. I always like to carry a spare along with a spare main fuse as a backup. I ziptie them in the fuse box area for use later if needed down the road. Cheap insurance.

My 2000 was doing that before the ignition module finally got real bad.

I've been having a similar issue with my '14 Low Rider. It's gotten so bad that it now cuts out consistently while I'm riding regardless of RPM. It's at the dealership today so hopefully they can diagnose and solve the issue. Once I hear back from them I'll let you know what they found out.

Just heard back from the dealership. After 3 days, and having to get the Master Tech involved they finally figured out the issue. The bolt on the ground wire was a tad bit too long so even though it was tight it was allowing some play in the connection. This caused it to throw all sorts of error codes and the continuous dying. They replaced the bolt and it runs great again. Picking it up after work to enjoy a great weekend of riding. Not sure if this will help with your issues but it may be worth looking into. They said they checked all sorts of other things before they figured this out. Best of luck!
