It seems like I need to give it a lot of gas to get the beast moving. I guess I could be a little more in depth. I can ease out the clutch and I can inch forward no problem. But to get here to actually go it seems like I need like 2000 maybe 2500 or more RPM to be able to fully release the clutch and go. It just doesn't seem right. Could it be a plug issue? It almost seems to chug at low rpm pretty much below 3000. Any advice would be great. Until I can figure it out I will just keep the RPMs up which is a bonus. LOL

Are you coming from an Inline 4 bike?

Remember you are only getting 2 power strokes per rev because of the V twin, add that to the non symmetric firing pattern and you have a much different animal when compared to a inline 4.

I think you need to give it some time, you will learn to adapt to it and make smoother.

I actually had problems with my bike kinda like yours. It would stutter and die on me if I didnt rev it over 3k RPMs when taking off, when the motor was cold. How many miles do you have on the bike? A TPS reset fixed my bike.

I have 6600 on the bike and I had the tps reset at the end of the last riding season. It was about 55-60 degrees out when this happend. My travel is about 20 miles. I will see what happens when it gets warmer.

try running some injector cleaner though it? If you think about it, idle speed is 1050 so 2k (to me) sounds pretty normal. When pulling away from a stoplight, I have to feather clutch anyway to avoid hitting the car in front of me. I guess that first gear ratio is tall. 2500 is probably what I rev to without thinking about it.
