Default Chitty Chitty klang klang

Went on one heck of a great tour through Northern New York last weekend. Love the roads from Watertown to Lake Placid. Once my 2012 Street Glide got hot sitting at idle with the clutch in it make some loud knocking sounds in the bottom side of the engine on the breather side. Even my Bob noticed it. The bike runs great but? Also my last two Harley's would fire at the push of the button this 103 likes to turn over several times before she fires.

Turns over several times due to the ACR's.

Was it hot enough to activate the EITMS?

I agree.Very likely what you heard was related to it running on one cylinder.

Yup I agree with running on one cylinder. It also shakes a wee bit more than normal when it hits that mode. It should have gone away as soon as you hit the throttle.
