Default 2015 CVO RGU hard to take off from Idle

Hey guys and gals,

Just want to share what is going on with my 2015 CVO RGU. I went from a 2015 RGS with V&H power duals, Hi Output slip ons and SE Tuner. (dealer dyno'd) and did not have this issue I'm about to describe.

Bike is all stock with the exception of Rinehart slip ons. It seems like I am constantly starting off in 2nd gear. (it's that bad) Engine lugs down pretty good and need to really crank on the throttle. Seems to get worse the hotter the bike gets. I purchased this bike in Feb of this year and had 1200 miles on it. Currently at 7k miles. I do have some Dresser duals coming and a FP3 and hoping this will cure this condition. Really annoying and frustrating.

Curious if anyone else has had this issue with their 110?

I have a 2016 CVO Road glide and I ran Rinehart slip ons with the factory head pipe and had no problem taking off in first gear. Does clutch seem to be adjusted right even though it is hydraulic?

I certainly have to let it out a long way to get into the friction zone

I'm hoping it is just a bad tune or similar. I know nothing about anything the previous owner did prior to me purchasing it. Other than this annoyance I absolutely love the bike!

Same bike, 40,000 miles, Fullsac header and 1.75" baffles, TTS Mastertune. No issues at all.

Unfortunately there is no adjustment on the hydraulic clutch and you do have to let the lever out a long way to get to the friction zone. One of my only real complaints about the bike as it makes feathering more difficult for those of us with old, stubby fingers.
