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.
