Mine does that on occasion even with the EIMTS turned off.  I thought it was from having a bad canned map with my Rinehart True Duals and slip ons.  In the spring I'm changing to different heads and slip ons and going to have it properly dyno tuned.  I'm hoping that solves some of my challanges.

Is the bike stock?  If so, insist Harley fix it since stalling is considered a safety defect.

Many people have had similar issues, and with more than one root cause reported, so there isn't necessarily going to be a simple answer to your question.  Perhaps it's a problem with the throttle body as reported by some folks, perhaps it's something as simple as an air leak causing the bike to run even leaner than usual, hard to say.  But it is not normal or acceptable.  Find a competent tech (not necessarily an easy task I know) and have them do some diagnostics.

Another consideration is a bad lifter or possibly the cam tensioners are worn through. Either problem throws off the combustion cycle enough to make idling difficult if not impossible. Both would require opening cam chest to diagnose. Good luck.
