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.
Operation
When engine temperature reaches a pre-determined point, the EITMS turns off the rear cylinder fuel injector. Idle speed is maintained, however 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 temperature is greater than 165 °C (287 °F)
Twist grip opening is at idle
Vehicle speed under 2 km/h (1 mph)
Engine speed under 1200 rpm,
If any one of the following occurs, the EITMS disables (rear cylinder fires again).
Engine temperature falls below 135 °C (275 °F)
Twist grip opening is greater than idle
Vehicle speed exceeds 3 km/h (2 mph)
Engine speed exceeds 1350 rpm
Clutch is released with vehicle in gear
When the engine is in EITMS operation, you can notice a difference in idle cadence. Additionally, there can also be a unique exhaust odor. Both are normal conditions.
Enabling/Disabling EITMS
Enabled: During elevated temperature conditions, EITMS automatically activates whenever the motorcycle comes to a complete stop while idling . Even with the feature enabled, it does not activate under cool riding conditions.
Disabled: The EITMS feature is not active under any conditions.
See Figure 1. Enable or disable EITMS by performing the following procedure.
Push the engine OFF/RUN switch on the right handlebar to the RUN position (1) (the engine can be running or not running).
Roll the throttle twist grip to the roll-off position and hold (2).
NOTE
A flashing lamp indicates the EITMS setting. A solid (non-flashing) lamp indicates the cruise control setting.
