Default Engine Idle Temp System and Fat Bob
Has anyone had the Engine Idle Temperature Management System download done to their Fat Bob? If so, are you happy with it?

Nope... I haven't had the need. I rarely ride in parades or heavy traffic where the bike idles for long.

The red light that comes on when you turn on the bike then goes off when it's ready to start the bike has been staying on when I go over 60 mph. Why does it do that? Any help?

Had something similar on my 14 Slim. When I would reach 60+ mph it would cause my front break lever to activate. When it would do this after a minute or so the red light would illuminate. Next time that happens push your lever forward and see if that helps. Took mine back under warranty and they replaces the entire front brake master cylinder assembly.

What does this have to do with this thread??

Anyway, back on topic...I personally disabled the EITMS feature on my bike for two reasons. One, the only reason it exists is to try and reduce the heat for rider comfort and it doesn't really do this. And two, I don't think that doubling the load on the front cylinder to cool the back is a worthwhile tradeoff and is probably not good for the rods and bearings.

Oh and a third reason...it sounds like ****.

Welcome to the forum. First post and you hijack a thread?
Anyway, red light probably means the bike threw a code. Look in your owner's manual and/or get it to the dealer, it's under warranty.

So it has to be activated by Harley? My Power Vision has a check box will that also activate it or only deactivate it once active?

My 2010 Fatbob came from the factory with this enabled. According to the PowerVision manual, it can be turned 'On' or 'Off' using the tuner. I have a PowerVision tuner and I haven't tried changing mine but I just might.

The PV tuner can indeed turn it on or off. It also lets you adjust the on and off temps.
