On my 09 Road Glide, I really notice it taking off in 1st gear from a stop. I used to open throttle and let out clutch at the same time. Now it seems like I have to give it a little throttle and a half second later, start letting out the clutch. Other than that, it seems great, no problems.

I eliminated any throttle lag on my '08 UC by completely ignoring all the bitching and moaning I read on the forums.
