Default EITMS - Do You Use It?

If your bike has it, do you use your EITMS?

If yes, it is obvious why.

If no, AND you ride in HOT weather, why do you not use it?

I used to. Stopped. Now am starting to use it again. I am in S. Florida and lately it has been 88-92 degrees here MOST of the time when I am out riding.

Thank you in advance for your input guys.

Yes, always on. Why not? What the harm?

Not on. Hate the way the idle sounds and feels.

I turned mine off. After I installed my FP3, it seemed to want to stumble when taking off from a stop. Im sure a blib of the throttle, before letting out the clutch would have solved my problem. But it doesn't get all that hot in michigan, and I don't have to sit in crazy rush hours

I leave it on. It did kick in a few times this summer when it got pretty hot, riding in South Dakota in July. Couple of 105 degrees days.

I used to use it, it kicked on a few times when I lived in KY, but now I'm in SC and it's been hotter'n ***** here this summer - and I don't remember it kicking in here or even in Daytona. Come to think of it, I don't remember it kicking in since I flashed it - maybe it's a setting in my PV programming? Might need to check it...
