mate my S3 V6 VS ute does this, i changed my leads and plugs which helped and now it only occurs every now and again, but i do have a miss fire that i think might be linked to the problem, Im thinking its my coil packs/ DFI module as every other component is in great working order, it does chew up a bit more fuel than a motor in perfect working order due to the miss fire but it's not real heavy on fuel.

Just fixed a similar problem on my VN. Replaced the dissy as the clip that was holding the hall effect sensor had corroded, allowing the sensor to shift around everytime i hit a bump.

My symptoms: loading it up at low rpm it would cough and splutter then clear out, it would miss when hitting bumps in the road AND the tacho would jump 1000rpm when it did this

Now its all good

Just try swapping the dissy. It a 10 min job. If its not the problem, then you have crossed one thing off the list
