    I know it's an old post, but to answer the question, yes it's normal. On cold mornings I've had a rough start-up and it goes away after the engine is warmed up.

    With this type of issue it's often worth looking into exactly what type of engine oil you're using. Sometimes changing the brand/type of oil will ease the problem.
