You hit the nail on the head with this one. I learned that from painful experience. I had the dealer leave mine off because I don't care for the looks and after riding my dads 09 I didn't have any problems. Wow, the 10 was a whole different story. I was cooking big time without them and had to put them back on. This winter I removed them when I installed the cams and left them off. So far things have been very much cooler without them.

I would be interested if anybody else has heard this and knows how this works, ECM program?

I could be wrong but I don't think it will shutdown. I believe the EITMS kicking in is all they have in their back pocket to ward off the big melt down.

+1, but...

The only other option is the Power Management mode that will shut down the motor to idle mode if you are riding it too hard. Some think this is the EITMS but it is not the same.

Are you sure you are a lab rat or some other species?

I guess this video confirms that I really am a lab rat because that is the same reaction I seem to get from most women!
