Default low-gear throttle hiccup

CV Breakout '14, 1000 miles, and after first scheduled maintenance I've noticed at low revs in first and second gears unless I am VERY gentle with the throttle, when I give it gas the bike seems about to stall, and then kicks in. Happens more when the bike is somewhat cold and less when fully warmed up, but it still happens. I don't recall this happening before, but I have other bikes and don't ride this beast all the time. The more aggressive with the throttle, the closer to stalling it gets.

Is this normal? If not, what's the fix?

Thanks,

JK

Just a guess but I'd say it's too lean and you're really feeling it while it's cold, you need to get a tuner or dyno or the best option both.
