Actually, my '12 did it when I changed the clutch fluid.  I did it again thinking I had done something wrong and yep, still there.  My '15 did it from day one and still does.  No slipping on either bike, just feeling it in the lever.

None of the Harleys I've owned had this - ability to 'feel' the shift through the clutch lever - including my '12.  First time I ever noticed it was on the test ride of the 2017 Limited.  It wasn't terribly objectionable, just noticeable.  Still wonder exactly what the cause is.

I have a 15 Limited CVO and I can feel the shift in the clutch handle also. I could not feel the shift in my 09 Ultra CVO.

FWIW. Clutch on my 2013 RG CVO has always been "late" to enage, but not on my 2011 CVO SG. Was told nothing they could do to adjust the hydraulic clutches. I just accepted the explanation. No big deal.

While I have no personal experience with the new bikes I have recently watched quite a few Youtube Vlogs on them and one guy reported about the lower idle actually made the bike stall on him while driving through the obstacle cone courses. It seemed to happen when dropping down to an almost stop and then trying to pull back out of it. Other than that pretty much as others have said comments same about the exhaust note and seeming to have more acceleration in stock form. And these were all the 107 motors so far. The stalling situation happened several times. As he said maybe this is something that can be adjusted at a later time.

They must have missed that during the 1,000,000 miles of testing.   :oops: :nixweiss:

If HE stalled it, it's because he hasn't figured out the proper ratio of clutch to throttle on the new bike.  All bikes are different.

now have 1000 miles on it. so far really like it, not sure why but handles very well in windy conditions. Haven't noticed the clutch stuff others talked about, personally like the clutch my 13 seemed to slip to go this seems to really grip when let go. motor is definitely quitter and seems to have plenty of power till above speed limit then guess kind of chokes out, sure different pipes will remedy this. Love the features etc. Does feel as though I get a lot of heat on my right calf suppose from the catalytic converter maybe. All in all very happy so far

Does anyone know what the top speed is on a stock 114?
