Mine hesitates, too. My '05 Wing did not. I'm Honda does a recall/fix, but I'm not holding my breath.

When I go out to the garage, I start the bike first thing, then I put on my gear, put in my ear plugs, put on my helmet, start up my Scala, and hopefully, that's taken long enough to warm things up. I'm treating it as I would my carburated VTX 1300R.
