There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

My new RTS had done that when I first got it several times. Now have almost 400 miles on it and it only did it once in the last week. Someone said new units have to go thru several tanks of gas to clear out a coating but that never happened on my RS. Is the throttle body something they can check at the 600 mi. service?
As a non mechanical guy what does a throttle body actually do?

:welcome: I hope you get your problem fixed right away.
Yes they can and should check the throttle body at 600 mi. If not ''sooner.''
To make it simple the throttle body takes the place of a carburetor.

To those that know... could turning the throttle while having your foot on the brake also cause this? Just wondering...
Mine has done the same thing and I have the same model year (2011).
In my case though, I could restart it and take off. I don't believe I mess-around with the throttle when stopped. I never was one to do that even with my motorcycles -- but wondered if those with that bad habit could be contributing to the problem.

If its a se5 make sure the clutch is disingaging or it will stall at lights

Stalling at Idle
My 2010 RT has stalled while at a stop light once. It has hesitation off the line once in a while. The dealer will have to repair these minor problems.

That will not do it. Throttle problems on the RTs are related to the components themselves (and sometimes the programming). In this case, we don't even know if that is the cause. The owner needs to see his dealer.

Thanks for everyone's reply.
I have the SE5, although I am not sure I know what you mean about disengaging the clutch... all I do is downshift or sometimes let it do it itself -- so I assume it is disengaged -- although it shows it to be in first gear. I suppose you could put it in neutral each time; but I have a problem with doing that considering the idiots out there at intersections. I would prefer to be in gear and ready to get out of the way, if you know what I mean.

Some of the clutches on the SE5 have been known to stay engaged. If the RT tries to creap forward when stopped the clutch might still be engaged enough to stall the engine.

Sort of... But I know you're trying to make it simple. I've never learned to do that!
The throttle bodies handle the air component of the combustion mixture.
The fuel injectors handle the fuel component (DUH!)
The amazing thing is, with all the computers and years of improvements made, carburetors still work better for some applications. Optimum fuel/air mix is an extremely difficult thing to achieve. Just ask Amal!

Hey, Amals are better than SUs. :roflblack:

my RT would down shift to 1st gear but stall at red lights.then the clutch would release I would restart and go to the next light and do it all over again. The dealer replaced all componets but because of inexperence has assembled wrong or the clutch pack is to short because it now chatters at low rpm. have had to find another dealer to address this .problem this one seems to know what to do The first dealer was more concerend about who was going pay than reshiming the clutch:banghead:
