Me too, see I'm not the only throttle bliper around here.

The old ones relied on ET. The 14s come in based on AT.

check your owners manual, kicks in at 284 degrees, I'm surprised that you missed this one.

From the manual



Touring (except FLHR, FLHRC, FLHR CVO FLHRSE AND FLHTCUTG: AAT sensor exceeds 80 degrees F


FLHR, FLHRC, FLHR CVO, FLHP AND FLHTP : ET sensor exceeds 288 F

So Safetyman didn't miss this one, he quoted what his model does.

Im quoting the Touring Models 2014 Harley-Davidson owners manual, not sure what your looking at.

The information I gave (I edited my original post from where you quoted me for more detail) came out after the manual was printed, as it was misprinted to my understanding.
This information reportedly came straight from the MOCO and EITMS was changed in the 14s from previous years.

And then there's this:

This from HD - TT430: TWIN-COOLED SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS dated 27 September 2013;

Note that EITMS (rear cylinder cut-out) uses ambient air temperature monitored by the sensor on the left side of the steering head) to activate and deactivate at air temperatures above 80 °F (27 °C). EITMS is completely independent from cooling system operation.

I turned the system off. Like the feel of both cylinders pumping.

That explains the confusion and miss information. Too bad our MOCO put out bogus info to begin with. SafetyMan, your fine record seems to be intact.

Yes it is! MoCo released the corrected info in Service Bulletin M-1351, dated September 17, 2013. The fact that you were unaware is the fault of your dealer (see attached).
