ENGINE BOGGS DOWN....RPMS GO UP....

[jterrymaddux]

We left one of our 2014 RT Limiteds with dealer Saturday afternoon. We have 700 miles on it. It does not do it all the time but it will bogg down and rpms jump up and then it will take off again....It actually chirped the rear tire once when it took back off. Has anyone experienced this and what do you guys expect the problem to be....The second RT has never had this happen.....It does happen more at interstate or at least highway speeds....Thanks for any input

These new "six-speeders", have a different clutch engagement and lockup system...
I think that the old system was smoother, but mine hasn't done what yours is doing. :shocked:
Give your dealer a call, and good luck! :thumbup:

Don't know..!!

used to have this happen in bikes with accumulated moisture in the carb. As water beads formed they got sucked up and the engine died momentaraly. Being fuel injected could be bad gas but then you ryde and fuel at the same places. Leaves an electrcal problem perhaps coils or plug wires..let us know what they find..:thumbup:

I would guess you have a clutch problem. The engine is not bogging down, but the bike is slowing down and the RPM's go up, then the clutch reengages and and away you go.

We've been kicking this around in the 1330 section a little bit...
