My Ultra Classic has had the EITMS engage as low as 70 degrees on the info page. Each time it has been after a lot of hard highway riding, then a sudden stop at a light or in traffic.

 

ETS is a thermistor & is located in the back of the front cylinder head behind the horn mounting bracket.

 

I can only comment on my bike. The EITMS has never become ACTIVE until the Information screen showed a temp of 81*. On a warm day, after the engine had run for the minimum of 4 minutes and the information screen showed a temp of 81 or above, the EITMS would activate at every stop. If the info screen showed 80*, the bike could sit there and idle all day and the EITMS would not become active. One time on a cooler than 81* day I took the AAT sensor and placed it on the top of the rocker box. As soon as the info screen showed 81* the EITMS became active.

 

^^^^^^THAT has been my exact experience with the ETMS on my 2014 Limited.

I leave it on all the time and it only has activated when the info screen showed 81deg.

 

I prefer leaving the system off. My Limited never gets so hot that I'm uncomfortable.

 

Mine engaged at around 70 degrees, a lot of slow, stop and go traffic.

 

mine works good so far. In Texas it is a welcome feature.

 

This is simple to prove.

Same here never saw it activate below temp

 

That just tells you it's enabled, meaning it will activate. Once it activates, that screen shows "Active" instead of "Enabled".
