You must be talking about the Engine Idle Temperature Management System. Basically, it turns off the rear cylinder and it becomes an "air pump" which helps to cool the engine.
All conditions must be met to activate EITMS:
- Engine temp more than 287 degrees
- Engine idling
- Moving under 1 MPH
- RMPs less than 1200
Once activated it'll deactivate if one of the following exist:
- Engine temp falls below 275 degrees
- Revving the engine
- Moving faster than 2 MPH
- RPMs exceed 1350
- Clutch released while its in gear
Your bike should have been delivered with EITMS disabled. To enable it:
1. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the OFF/RUN switch to the RUN position (do not start your bike).
2. Push the throttle to the roll-off position and hold.
3. After about 3 seconds, the cruise indicator lamp will either flash green (EITMS enabled) or red (EITMS disabled).
4. Repeat steps 1-3 to reverse the process as needed.
As for it running hot... yep, it's a Harley.

Well that makes me feel better. I was just wondering if it came on in 85 degree weather what it was going to do when I'm in Panama City for Thunder Beach next week. Whole lot of stop and go traffic down there. WHat I need to do is get a temp gauge and take the worry out of it.

Oh, and one note. EITMS is not for the bike. HD claims totally unnecessary for the safety of the motor. It is 100% for rider comfort. If it kicks in, it is trying to cool you down, not the motor.
