Turn ignition on and roll throttle all the way forward.

Can be adjusted in the settings menu. Should be disabled from the factory.

Roll the throttle forward for 3 seconds. You should notice the cruise indicator flash orange to let you know it switched off.

When engine temperature reaches a predetermined point, the EITMS turns off the rear cylinder fuel injector. 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:
NOTE:
EITMS does not activate within the first four minutes after starting the vehicle.

  • Ambient temperature or engine temperature exceeds temperature threshold
  • Throttle control is at idle
  • Vehicle speed under 1 mph 2 km/h
  • Engine speed under 1200 rpm
EITMS disables (rear cylinder begins firing again) if any one of the following occurs:
  • Ambient temperature or engine temperature falls below temperature threshold
  • Throttle control is above idle
  • Vehicle speed exceeds 2 mph 3 km/h
  • Engine speed exceeds 1350 rpm
  • Clutch is released with vehicle in gear
When the engine is in EITMS operation, you may notice a difference in idle cadence. Additionally, there may be a unique exhaust odor. These are both considered to be normal conditions.

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.
  1. Turn ignition switch ON. Push the engine OFF/RUN switch on the right handlebar to the RUN position (the motorcycle may be running or not running).
  2. Push the throttle to roll-off position and hold.
  3. See Instruments (Fairing Models, typical) and Instruments: FLHR/FLHRC. After approximately 3 seconds, the cruise indicator lamp will either flash green (EITMS enabled) or orange (EITMS disabled).
  4. Repeat the procedure as necessary to enable or disable EITMS.
NOTES:
  • A flashing cruise lamp indicates the EITMS setting. A solid (non-flashing) lamp indicates the cruise control setting.
  • The EITMS setting remains in effect until it is changed by the rider or dealer. There is no need to reconfigure EITMS at each startup.

Ya, but it looks like few are being read. Half the fun of a new toy is reading the operator manual, at least for me.
