2013 RT Ltd start up shudder

[diesel-dawg]

My RT is parked inside my garage. Started it up this afternoon and released the Parking Brake and went into reverse to back out of the garage. It seemed to "shudder" while backing out. Is that a result of the parking brake not fully releasing? Any ideas about this?

I have a 2013 Limited and sometimes on a cold start at first the engine does not run smooth. This happens when I back out of the garage. After running a short time it smooths out.

The rpm (and resulting speed) are severely limited in reverse. If you try too hard, you can easily run up on the rev limiter.

Had your bike dropped back to the Normal 1400 rpm or so idling speed? if you slap it into gear before it settles down; it'll want to act up a bit... :shocked:

Letting the :spyder2: settle down to the 1400 or so rpm's before backing is probably a good idea.

thanks to all of you for your thoughts. I will keep the idle speed in mind before backing out. First time it has done that.

How easily you throttle up in reverse can cause it too. It doesn't take much to get mine to shutter a bit if too much throttle is applied.
