The Engine Idle Temperature Management System (EITMS) can provide limited cooling of the rear cylinder for riders who frequently find themselves in prolonged idle conditions or traffic congestion.
When engine temperature reaches a predetermined point, the EITMS turns off the rear cylinder fuel injector. The rear cylinder becomes an “air pump” which works to cool the engine.
EITMS activates (rear cylinder turns off) when all of the following conditions are met:
- Engine speed under 1200 rpm.
- Ambient temperature or engine temperature exceeds temperature threshold.
- Throttle control is at idle.
- Vehicle speed under 2 km/h (1 mph).
EITMS can be enabled or disabled by performing the following procedure.
- Bring an assigned fob within range. Push the engine OFF/RUN switch on the right handlebar to the RUN position (the motorcycle may be running or not running).
- Push the throttle to roll-off position and hold.
- After approximately 3 seconds, the cruise indicator lamp will either flash green (EITMS enabled) or orange (EITMS disabled).
- Repeat the procedure as necessary to enable or disable EITMS.
