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. Riders can enable or disable EITMS to complement their riding style.
Operation
If EITMS is active, releasing the clutch lever to the clutch engagement zone will deactivate EITMS and begin firing the rear cylinder. While the vehicle is stopped, the rider may benefit from twisting the throttle/raising engine speed slightly just before riding away, which will deactivate EITMS and begin firing the rear cylinder immediately regardless of clutch lever position.
The engine warm idle speed is 850 rpm, but the idle speed can vary depending on other factors including electrical load on the vehicle. When EITMS is active on this engine, the idle speed will increase to 950–1,000 rpm until EITMS is deactivated.
Activation
NOTE
EITMS will not operate within the first 30 seconds after starting the engine.
EITMS will turn off the rear cylinder fuel injector when all of the following preset parameters are met:
Throttle position is above idle (rider rolls throttle)
Motorcycle speed exceeds 3 km/h (1.9 mph)
Engine speed exceeds 1,350 rpm
The clutch is released with the motorcycle in gear
Enabling / Disabling EITMS
NOTE
EITMS is enabled from the factory.
EITMS can be enabled or disabled with the engine running or shut off.
Enabled: The EITMS engine cooling feature automatically activates whenever the vehicle comes to a complete stop and is idling during elevated temperature conditions. When the feature is enabled, it may not activate under cool riding conditions.
Disabled: The EITMS feature is not active under any conditions.
EITMS can be enabled or disabled by performing the following procedure.
