I think it's only on the dressers and the throttle is rolled forward to activate it.
Not sure if the throttle is rolled while the bike is off or while in neutral running to activate it.

Once activated by dealer the rear cylinder will turn off at idle when temp sensor blips on ..... on my bike it turned off when oil hit 233 deg... head temp will be higher .... at least application of throttle rear cylinder will start firing. Anyway...that is the.MOCO's lame attempt at heat management.
My Softail came with heat management turned off.....I had to get stealership to turn it on....they wanted to charge me until I had a good natured chat with stealership manager. I've heard factory ships em with switch on...but stealerships turns em off to charge a fee to turn em on.
Next time you see cop bike at a parade notice the "parade" fan where the cowbell used to be. That is a parade fan that really cools the engine. MOCO does not provide similar factory option for Softails ...but you can buy one or preferably make your own. Do a search for "Fatboy cooling fan."
CPIAD:
Read the thread, and its an interesting idea, except I don't have a horn mounted there but the ignition module.

PS you do need to get the explanation on the difference between Deg C and Deg F ;-)

CPIAD is probably talking about the EITMS (Engine Idle Temperature Management System) feature which you can have your dealer turn on in the EFI map. (or you can do yourself if you have the SE tuner.)
One tuner said that Harley had to implement this because they have to be so lean at idle due to EPA regs. He richens up the idle area so you don't need EITMS turn on.
