Default 09 dyna bogging out

Hi I got 09 dyna fxd. 16k had the 15k service a few hundred miles ago. Anyways my bike sits for a week till I get back, starts and idled fine. Revs up fine. When I start take off the bike will bog out like I'm hitting the brake and die unless I pull in clutch and rev it up. Did it two weeks in a row after sitting all week at work. Only did it after sitting was ok once I hit freeway speed and didn't do it the next day going back. Then it sat all week and did it again. Any suggestions

Possibly a pin hole in the internal fuel tank line. Don't know if the fuel filter is replaced at 15k but that's something else to look at. A dirty air filter will also act up like that.
Bad gas could be another cause, drain out the tank and put in fresh gas and add Seafoam.

You may simply not be revving it quite enough to pull away smoothly. Our bikes only have two cylinders, not eight!

Install a new battery and let us know if it stops the issue. Good eye.
