I have used a PCIIIUSB on my '03 for many years and still have the same unit. So Happy with it that I purchased a PCV for my 2013 Limited.
The only time I ever had a problem was after washing the bike with excessive water to wash salt off after a late winter ride and got water into the connector. Easy fix, disconnect and dry out with a hair dryer, cover terminals with dielectric grease and reassemble. I reset the PC and reloaded the program and she ran like new again, still does.

Is it the adjustment on the handlebar or one in the primary?

The picture is outdated but it is a 13 street bob now with 12" t-bars, it came with mini apes. I haven't changed any cables but I just had it in for the 20k service 2k ago. I'm going to give the place that did the service a call and see if they will re-adjust my clutch.

The clutch cable should have some play when the lever is released which will guarantee you are not riding on the throwout bearing and the clutch will not slip. Typically this is adjusted in the cable, behind the ribbed rubber usually behind the front wheel. If clutch plates are worn the clutch rod will need adjusted inside the primary. You will know if the clutch rod needs adjusted because the clutch will slip in high gear after the plates have worn far enough. The cable adjustment is easy, you should have 1/16-3/32 gap between the clutch lever and the lever perch when you feel pressure on the lever. Again as clutches wear the gap is reduced to the point the clutch will slip in high gear. Motor stalling would indicate the clutch is not disengaged when you pull the lever which is opposite the normal wear of clutch plates and the effect on cable and or rod adjustment.....

I randomly had this happen one time on my '13 as well. Same exact thing, died right as I came to a stop at a stop sign. Started right back up. Has only happened once in 10K miles. I cleaned the IAC not that long ago so it's definitely not due to buildup for me. Not my clutch either. Has only happened the one time though.

Rode it to work with no problems but I never got above 60mph and kept all my shifts low. Old lady is grabbing plugs and new a/c on her way home tonight so I'll swap them and see what happens.

In case nobody mentioned it, the most common problem with a PC-V is water gets into the main plug after rain or washing. You will need to pull it apart and just get the water out if that's the case.

Scan the code if possible, even a bad speed sensor will cause idle problem. I had similar experience.
