Please provide as much info as you can about the model/year bike. The problem or solution varies with carbs or Fuel Injection. Are you even talking about a motorcycle? You could be referring to a Chevy Truck for all we know.

Don't forget mileage, any performance upgrades, and if you performed any service just before it started.

Having almost no info to go on (except it might be a Dyna), I would say adjust the throttle cables. It's a shot in the dark but what the hell, I could be right.

That's where I'd start. Remove your air cleaner so you can see the butterfly in the throttle body, and see how far you have to twist the throttle before it starts to open. Then adjust accordingly.
