EITMS is logical and for us in the heat a motor saver.
as you did from the beginning look a the cause, not the symptoms.
turning it off for data gathering is fine, but not a solution.

Mike: I agree with you completely, which is why I am going to go ahead and include town riding into my next auto tune, after which I'll turn on the EITMS again to see if the cause was adequately addressed. The upshot since I live somewhere between hell and heaven is that 95% of my riding is in very temperate weather, and having it turned off isn't something that I personally need to fret over. I do like things right though, so I am not finished with my search for the ultimate solution.
BTW - I love the desert....in the winter time! I'm an old desert rat from Yuma, and couldn't go back to live there during the summer for even a warehouse full of new Harley's. (Feel free to offer it up though!) On the other hand, the coldest winter you'll ever have will be the summer you spend here, or in San Fran!

I have the same condition with my stock 2013 103 cu.in.Road King. EITMS seems to come on sooner than my 2009 96 cu.in. motor did.Figured Harley lowered the temperature setting for the EITMS to operate.Don't believe the 103 runs any hotter than the 96 did.Some people I ride with just turned off the feature so they would not have to deal with it,but I believe its there for a good reason.
The 103 runs a LOT hotter than the 96 did. At least on my bikes. I was like you and didn't want to turn off the EITMS. Solved my heat issues with a good stage 1 set-up, and a dyno tune. Runs way cooler now than it did.
