02 road king FI low idle, engine shuts down

I have a 2002 Road King fuel injected. Recently I have had a problem with the bike stalling when I come to a stop. It sounds like the idle gets really low, then engine then just shuts down. Any suggestions on where I should start my troubleshooting of this problem.

Try cleaning out the air bleeds in the intake at the 2 and 10 o'clock position with some spray carb cleaner.

I have a 2004 RKC, and it did the same thing last week. The idle started to drop when I was sitting on a red light, and shuts off. I started it back up and pulled into a parking lot, and it shuts off again when I was in 2nd gear gliding into the lot! Were you able to figure out the cause and correct it? Has it re-occure you? Thanks!
