You should introduce yourself in the new members section before posting questions and looking for answers. That being said, Welcome Aboard! Your bike has the EITMS engaged. That cuts off the rear cylinder when the engine gets hot. I'm sure someone will chime in on the procedure to turn it on and off. Easy Fix!

This time of the year depending on your location & where you ride, your scoot should not be shutting down rear cylinder.
First: How many miles are on your odometer? Looking for proper break-in miles, that may alleviate some of your heat management issues.
My experience is Harley is in bed with the EPA and has these V-Twins are set very lean, invest in a good fuel tuner and your heat management problems will be virtually eliminated.
Keep us posted on your results.

Idle speed I think can only be set with an aftermarket tuner if I am not mistaken. I know the SEPST will not let you much with the redline but not 100% on the idle.
EITMS will turn off the rear cylinder fuel injector when all of the following preset parameters are met:
EITMS will deactivate and the rear cylinder fuel injector will resume operation if any one of the following conditions occur:
Enabling / Disabling EITMS
NOTE
Enabled: The EITMS engine cooling feature automatically activates whenever the vehicle comes to a complete stop and is idling during elevated temperature conditions. When the feature is enabled, it may not activate under cool riding conditions.
Disabled: The EITMS feature is not active under any conditions.
EITMS can be enabled or disabled by performing the following procedure.
EITMS will turn off the rear cylinder fuel injector when all of the following preset parameters are met:
- Throttle position is at idle
- Motorcycle speed is under 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
- Engine speed is under 1200 RPM
- Engine Temperature (ET) sensor input reading is above preset level
- Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) sensor reading is above preset level (radio equipped models only)
EITMS will deactivate and the rear cylinder fuel injector will resume operation if any one of the following conditions occur:
- Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) sensor reading drops below preset levels (radio equipped models only)
- Engine Temperature (ET) sensor reading drops below preset level
- Throttle position is above idle (rider rolls throttle)
- Motorcycle speed exceeds 1.9 mph (3 km/h)
- Engine speed exceeds 1350 RPM
- The clutch is released with the motorcycle in gear
Enabling / Disabling EITMS
NOTE
- EITMS can be enabled or disabled with the engine running or shut off.
- On vehicles equipped with radios, the EITMS activation and enabled / disabled can be viewed in the Information Screen.
Enabled: The EITMS engine cooling feature automatically activates whenever the vehicle comes to a complete stop and is idling during elevated temperature conditions. When the feature is enabled, it may not activate under cool riding conditions.
Disabled: The EITMS feature is not active under any conditions.
EITMS can be enabled or disabled by performing the following procedure.
- Turn ignition switch ON. Push the engine OFF/RUN switch on the right handlebar to the RUN position.
- Push the throttle to roll-off position and hold.
- See Indicator Lamps: Models Except FLHR, FLHRC, FLHRXS and Indicator Lamps: FLHR, FLHRC, FLHRXS. After 3 seconds, the cruise control indicator lamp will flash indicating the EITMS status.
- Flashing green indicates EITMS is enabled.
- Flashing amber indicates that EITMS is disabled.
- Repeat the procedure to enable or disable EITMS.
- A flashing cruise lamp indicates the EITMS setting. A solid (non-flashing) lamp indicates the cruise control setting.
- The EITMS setting remains in effect until it is changed by the rider or dealer. There is no need to reconfigure EITMS at each startup.

I'm not a believer in deactivating any safety warning systems. That is not considered a fix! We always believe we know more than the designing engineer. More or less its the same as placing black electrical tape over your temp gauge. The problem still exist, you're no longer knowledgeable of its condition.
Just my two cents.
