HEAT MANAGEMENT ON 2008 TOURING MODELS


For those riders who frequently find themselves in riding conditions where the bike is subjected to prolonged idle conditions or traffic congestion, the 2008 Touring Model Family bike is equipped with an Engine Idle Temperature Management System (EITMS) to provide limited cooling of the rear cyclinder.

When the engine is in EITMS operation, you may notice a difference in idle cadence. Additionally, there may be a unique exhaust odor. These are both considered to be normal conditions.

EITMS can be enabled or disabled by the rider using the following procedure.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
  2. Push the throttle to roll-off position and hold.
  3. After approximately 3 seconds, the cruise indicator lamp will either flash green (EITMS enabled) or red (EITMS disabled).
  4. Repeat the procedure as needed to enable or disable EITMS.
