Not at stop signs but when the motor/engine gets very hot under 2MPH like in a parade! And you can turn that feature off .

This is a simple rundown of the EITMS system on Harley Davidson Motorcycles.



First off, what does EITMS stand for? Engine Idle Temperature Management System. If you subject your engine to prolonged idle conditions, EITMS provides limited cooling to the rear cylinder. Majority of bikes from the factory have this feature disabled. But you can enable or disable this feature to fit your riding style.

How does the EITMS cool the engine? When the preset engine temp is reached while idling, it shuts off the spark and fuel to the rear cylinder. In turn the engine sucks in cool air to help dissipate cylinder heat from the rear cylinder. It does not actually cool the entire engine but it does help the heat issue with the rear cylinder. Any bit of cooling is a good thing.

How do you cut the EITMS on/off? No problem - keep reading.

If your bike has EITMS, these are the steps you take to cut it on/off. If you do not know if your bike has this feature check with your local HD dealer.

First, cut the ignition switch on and make sure the engine OFF/RUN switch is in the RUN position.

Second, push or roll the throttle forward (closed position) to the roll-off position and hold.

Thirdly, after approximately 3 or 4 seconds the cruise indicator will flash green (enabled) or red (disabled).

Lastly, if the indicator flashes GREEN - EITMS is ON, if indicator flashes RED - EITMS is OFF.

Remember to repeat the procedure as needed to enable or disable EITMS.

This will temporarily turn it off until it gets hot again. I cant say that I would advise completely disabling the EITMS system unless you address controlling the cause of the heat. The LJ dual cooling fans are a good option, ask Jack or any of the many others here that use them. They just work and work well. Link in my signature.

YES YES and YES

The mighty Mites work as stated

IMO they work better

I leave mine on all the time

I can monitor the ET with my Power Vision and it has brought my temp down a constant 50 degrees

Papa Zook hit a home run with this product y'all should have em on your bikes JMHO

On my 17 Trip-Glide.....I just press the information button on the right side handle bar, The EITMS WILL show if its on or off in bold letters on the radio screen, And to turn it off/on Like Jack said hold the throttle closed, And it will turn off/on....
