2013 STS SE5

So what it seems to be doing is when on a ride, bike warmed up, if I stop for a moment such as at a light, when I go to take off...the bike shutters/hesitates (whatever you want to call it) looking for a gear to move forward. It is a split second but annoying. Bike should already be in gear right? It’s as if the idle is low and not keeping in first, if that’s even possible.

Not sure if the throttle needs to be 100 rpm higher (if possible) or if some linkage needs to be adjusted?

Or clutch wearing out? (If there is a clutch lol)

Bike has probably under 18,000 miles.
