I am new to Harley, have always owned water cooled engines. How do I know when my Heritage is overheating in traffic?

 

It won't, just ride it.

EITMS will kick in: https://www.morganandwacker.com.au/b...nagement/2961/

Read your owner's manual.

Thank you for your service and if you want a service tag next to your name @BuzzCap7 can help you out with that.

 

You'll get BBQ'd before the motor does. Lol...unless you added a high flow intake with a full exhaust and didn't add a tuner your motor will be ok.

 

I think your bike automatically turns off one cyclinder to cool the engine. Once you get moving the rear cylinder will kick back in. You don't want a water cooled engine on a Harley.

 

Ride it you will be fine .. However if the amount of heat that you feel is an issue please check out our crotch cooler they work very well .. If you have any questions just let us know .. Thank you Captain Itch ..

 

Your Harley will overheat when you run out of the cooling medium, air. Don’t ride it on the moon.

 

I ride my Heritage(80k miles) in 95+ florida heat all day. that EITMS thingy is BS, a stupid feature to make you think it's running cooler. turn that **** off!!!! after waiting a long time at a light in summer, I will try to accelerate slowly and keep the revs down, but that's just me.

 

Worry less, ride more. Harley-Davidson has been making air cooled V-twins for over 100 years and they’ve been used successfully in all climates.
