PCV and EITMS not compatible?
EITMS=Engine Idle Temperature Management System.
I have a PCV on my 103" Stage II equipped '09. I bought the PCV from Jamie at Fuelmoto. The bike runs well and I have no complaints except for one. The other day I was in LA's lousy stop-go traffic and the engine went into EITMS as it will often do. Before installing the PCV it worked fine. I would just give it some throttle and the back cylinder would kick in and off I'd go. Now when the rear cylinder is shut down and I go to take off the engine sputters and quits. It did it over and over so I turned EITMS off. I called Fuelmoto this morning and the fellow there told me to call PC and ask them which I did. Their tech told me to have the dealer turn EITMS off. Obviously he doesn't know that the rider can turn it on and off at will. He didn't seem very interested but agreed to take my phone number in case he hears anything about it. I think it's a valuable option and one I'd like to be able to use this summer. Has anyone with a similar setup and warm weather had it work properly?

I experienced the same thing the other night riding through the French Quarter here in New Orleans. The stop and go traffic from sign to sign was killing me. I thought that maybe it was just me. I did find that rolling the throttle slowly from a stop when the eitms kicked in helped a little bit. Still killed a few times. With the PCV and EITMS enabled you cannot jump on the throttle. Dont like that at all. Didn't have a chance to use it before the PCV though, so I am not sure how it acted from the factory.

Actually with the PCV I have noticed mine has not stayed on, I have also read others with the same issue. Not a big deal to turn on it but I do have to remember it.
