haha you joke, its real though, my 2012 had 16" apes and the clutch felt a lot lighter than my 14 SGS hydro clutch. never noticed the stalling point though I just use throttle

Are you sure the EITMS is turned on? Mine was off when I purchased the bike.

If you are at a light idling on 1 cylinder, just give it quick blip of the throttle before you take off.


this will get the rear cylinder running again.


Still, need to bring up the revs a bit, helps you get used to it. This, coming off a 2012 Ultra with the old 103!

I have noticed this to a degree also. Seems like it just likes to stumble a bit right at the very bottom and then it takes off pulling hard. It took me a bit as I still have my other bike and they are a little different on how you ride them but as stated you get used to it.

I noticed the stumble at first but I was used to sliding the clutch a certain way on my 09 with a 96" motor. The '16 hydraulic clutch slides differently and seems to grab pretty quick and a lot more finesse was needed to make smooth starts without getting the stumble. I'm used to it now and don't have any problems with it. I have the EITMS turned off
