Why do I have to ‘goose’ it when cold?

Within the last several days, I found that starting off after a cold start at slow speed requires a little more goosing the throttle else the bike will shut off or nearly do so; just like I have not twisted enough. This is in any mode except Sport. It has not done this before and only started several days ago. After riding and the bike is hot, I can start off without any issue. Mileage is 3,800 mi. Weather temps are 74 in the morning when cold starting and after work it is in the high 80’s when I start it cold.

Being FI I would not think it would be an issue but...

Ideas?

Early on the shop I worked at encountered a new DCT GW with this complaint. Honda had the tech on the bike complete the re-initialization procedure and the owner reported it cured. Honda in CA was very involved with the situation and followed up. That was in the spring of 2018.
