Eitms
Ok........I am lost.
My '09 ultra classic manual says:
"A"
Turn ignition on
Push engine Run/Stop to RUN (Do not start enginge.)
Push Throttle to Roll OFF position and HOLD
Afta abt 3 seconds the cruise cmtrl lamp will flash green (enabled) or repat above and it will flash red (Disengaged)
The above is when the engine is OFF. Well if the eng is OFF then neither cylinder is running. 'dah! EITMS is supposed to shut just the rear cylinder not both.
"B"
On the HD website it says to shut off the rear cylinder, while running but either with clutch in or in neutral roll the throttle OFF max way clockwise AND hit the Cruise button.
Does this all mean if you do "A" alone nothing happens but it gets ready for whenver u do "B" above?
Is the above what is going on? I do not want to experiment with my bike just in case I scerw things up.
Is the above the total story?

You can activate or deactivate the EITMS when bike is in neutral and not in motion or when just ignition switch is set to on and switch set in run..you can't mess anything up..it's either on or off. You don't have to do anything with the cruise button that I know of...just roll throttle CW and green cruise lights up green its on..if it lights up red its off..
1) I am sitting at a light.
2) I put bike in "N".
2) I roll the throttle CW.
3) Cruise cntrl light shows up blinking green.
4) Rear cylinder shuts dn.
I am ready to do:
1) Bike still in "N"
2) I roll throttle CW
3) Cruise ctrl light flashes red.
4) I am good to go.
Is that correct?
