Default Throttle by wire issue

Is there any way to take the free play out of the throttle when it's throttle by wire? I really don't like the dead spot coming off idle and the excessive free play doesn't help it any. You really have to feather the clutch and make sure you're seriously increasing the revs to make a smooth pull away or it really bogs down. I don't have that issue with my B-King, and didn't have it with my Triumph 800 XC, or my KZ or XT. I've been riding manual-equipped bike my whole life, so it isn't me. I assume a software update can be made to correct the issue?

My Ultra kind of does the same thing.

Thanks for the advice, changed A to road with max throttle response and B to sport with max throttle response- totally different bike!!! Love it!
Next question, do I want that Max throttle response on off-road Plus as well- been quite a while since I have played in the dirt and never on a bike this big?

I found the max throttle response to be very sensitive while standing and hitting bumps, so for me I toned it down a little. I have the bike apart running some electrical so I can't give you the exact setting I have.
