Since it is TBW, it could be something simple as a loose plug or something very expensive like a fried ECM with everything in between.

Break out the Harley Electrical Diagnostic Manual for your specific bike and start ruling things out.

Start with the plug at the throttle body. Clean it, then re assemble using some die electric grease. Then move on to diagnostics.
