ETMS Yes or No?
Should I turn it on or off? I live in Arizona so I know it's going to get hot in the summer. When I bought the bike it was turned off. I don't know if that is the default setting? I have it turned on right now and I notice when I start from a stop and it is active I have a little hesitation.

I leave mine turned on. Unless you are worried about needing to potentially race a Honda, the extra cooling while idling will will be worth it. Try a run on Thursday when it it gets up to 97 in April and see how it goes with and without it.

I activated mine when I got my tuner, having the rear jug pump nothing but air at idle would do more good than harm. You also have to blip the throttle to turn it off when the light goes green to prevent hesitation.

I have mine on all the time and recommend you do the same - it makes a real difference to comfort to have it on.
