Default 2009 Street Glide Rear Cylinder Turns Off ???

Hey Guys
Anyone familiar with this new feature
How do you make the Cylinder turn on & Off when it gets hot in traffic
I read somewhere that the 2009 has this feature
Haven't needed it I was just wondering how it works

On 08 models a download was required and it could be turned on or off I believe but with 09 models I think its all automatic. Of course what do I know since I ride a sporster just thought I'd take a stab at answering your question.

1. Turn the engine switch to On and push the Off/Run to Run.
2. Push the throttle to roll-off position and hold.
3. After 3 seconds the cruise indicator lamp will flash green (ENABLED) OR RED (DISABLED).
4. Repeat the procedure to enable or disable.

Can't imagine owning one of theses w/o a manual; too much info needed. Looks like the best thing now is to order another one. The SERVICE MANUAL available at the dealers is also a must have to enjoy ownership. my .02

They have done this in cars now for years. The computer kills fuel and spark to that cylinder until you hit the throttle.

it's for when the engine gets extremly hot. roll the throttle all the way forward past the resting/ neutral position. a light on your dash will start flashing. that means it's working.
