Default How the MoCo should have let the Rider control EITMS on the fly

they should have latched the logic/relay of the EITMS to the neutral/clutch in circuit that already exists.

that way when you pull in the clutch, the engine kicks up to normal RPM, and you don't get that lug/hesitation on take off.

and if you are setting at a dangerous light, trying to crawl up to see around an obstruction, the motor doesn't go into Limp mode.

i had a HECk of time in some very intense traffic yesterday. there's a yeild sign onto a major two lane road, that is about a 1/4 of a mile away from the stop light, how fast do you think the SUV's were going when they got there?

i was two up and trying to creep up & modulate the clutch to creep, the throttle to keep the EITMS off, and the brake to keep from rolling back,
and trying to roll back some when a semi came by to minimize wind blast.


i love EITMS, and I love my HD, i just wish the Engineers were listened to more than the Patent Attorneys & Lawyers at the MoCo.
