Narrative:
Departed runway 25R on the maxxo departure. Turned the autopilot on at 400 ft. The departure called for a turn to heading 240 degrees; but just as we started the turn hit wake turbulance from the aircraft ahead of us. Turned the auto pilot off to recover which delayed our turn to heading 240 degrees a few seconds. Tower asked if we were turning we said yes and started the turn. Don't think there was any conflict from our delayed turn to heading 240.
