    Default 2021 running strange at speed

    i have a 2021 RT Limited with 4,000 miles and when its cold out, under 40 degrees F.. on the highway cruising at speed in 6th gear, the rpms will jump up about 200-300 for about 1/2 second or so every few minutes.. almost like the bike is partially depressing the clutch and making it slip.. is this normal for cold weather?
    I wonder if the bike dropping below what it considers operating temp and its doing it similar to when the bike is cold and it idles higher and engages the clutch at ~2,000 RPM.. there are no lights on the dash and everything else seems normal.. also, I checked the oil after a 50 mile ride and its perfect.

    Sounds like the clutch slipping. Did you by chance recently change the oil?
