Jugs when they are a turn off
Does anyone know what year MoCo cut in the code change to shut off the rear cylinder to keep the heat down? A friend of mine said 11 and only with the 103. I thought it was 10 and only the 103.
Thanks

When you are stopped and at idle, simply push the throttle forward (closed) to roll off position and hold. After approximately 3 seconds, the cruise control indicator will flash either red (disabled) or green (enabled). Repeat the procedure to toggle between the two.
During hot idle, or when the motorcycle is off-throttle and running at hot temperatures, EITMS shuts off fuel to the engine's rear cylinder, leaving it to idle on the front cylinder only. Without combustion, the rear cylinder and exhaust header will begin to cool, bringing relief to the rider (and passenger) soon after. Once the rear cylinder cools to a predetermined temperature, or as soon as the rider accelerates, both cylinders resume operation. And by maintaining constant rpm during rear cylinder shutdown, transitions between one and two cylinder operation are nearly seamless.
EITMS is purely for rider comfort. When it activates and shuts off the rear cylinder, it's not because the motor is overheating. It's designed to reduce the heat radiating from the rear cylinder to the rider.
Once an appointment is made, the EITMS software reflash can be performed for free by any H-D dealer, usually while you wait. If, for any reason, the rider does not like the EITMS, it can be returned to the previous mapping for free.
