Thanks for the information everyone !!! My guess right now is that maybe my system is off, I know if I twist the throttle forward I currently get the RED cruise light. If Carlo is correct then it sound like I need to twist the throttle forward until I get the RED cruise light and then back off with the throttle to the neutral position and then take the throttle forward again until I get the GREEN cruise light and at that point my cyclinder cut out system should be automatic. Do I have that right ??

Dealer told me it is controlled by the computer and you can play all you want but you don't activate it. My 2010 has done it several times in the first 2 weeks riding in the hotest weather. Since I added new exhaust I have not noticed it at all. Don't know if it's the weather not as hot or the pipes.

The rear cylinder will kick off if activated and the bike reaches a certain temperature. Since putting in a PC-V my bike hasn't run hot enough to kick on. You will get a very distinctive PUTT PUTT PUTT sound and a slight odor. Just easing on the throttle should reengage the rear cylinder you shouldn't have to blip the throttle.
