Can anybody tell me if the PCV renders the EITMS inoperative? Mine does not seem to be kicking in lately?

 

Roll your throttle forward when sitting still and see if it's engaged. You might have accidentally turned it off.

 

Mine's fine, but as shooter stated double check it to make sure it's turned on.

 

I have to check to make sure mine is enabled once in awhile cuz its not as pronounced as it was last summer but then the inferno is not quit here yet!!!!

 

The PCV should have no effect what so ever on the heat management system. To check it, turn on the ignition, make sure the run switch is on. Roll your throttle forward (Off) and hold it a few seconds. If the cruise light comes on green, it's on, if it comes on yellow it's off.

 

From the online manual.... a little wordy, but pretty much what Gunny said.




Enabling/Disabling EITMS

Enabled: The EITMS engine cooling feature will automatically activate whenever the vehicle comes to a complete stop and is idling during elevated temperature conditions. Even with the feature enabled, it may not activate under cool riding conditions.

Disabled: The EITMS feature is not active under any conditions.

Vehicles are delivered from the factory with EITMS disabled. EITMS can be enabled or disabled by the rider by performing the following procedure.

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and push the engine OFF/RUN switch on the right handlebar to the RUN position (do not start the motorcycle).

Push the throttle to roll-off position and hold.

See Instrument Lamps. After approximately 3 seconds, the cruise indicator lamp will either flash green (EITMS enabled) or red (EITMS disabled).

NOTE:
A flashing lamp indicates the EITMS setting. A solid (non-flashing) lamp indicates the cruise control setting.

Repeat the procedure as needed to enable or disable EITMS.

NOTE:
The EITMS setting will remain in effect until it is changed by the rider or dealer. It does not have to be reconfigured at each startup.

 

if your pcv map is on the rich side your bike should run cooler and not get hot enough to activate the emits as easily.

 

just as a side note...the bike can be running when you do the above...

 

Thanks everyone. I know how to activate and deactivate the EMITS. Mine indicates it is active. However, it has not come on since I installed the PCV with the new map. This answers the question I believe. It is definately running richer than before. Thanks to all that responded. Rick

 

It doesn't work with SERT or it may be that it has to be turned either on or off with DT, can't remember.
