Eitms
I've hesitated asking such a stupid question but what the heck.
How do you know when the EITMS kicks in? Is there a particular noise the engine makes or some other way to know for sure?
The reason I ask is mine has gotten pretty hot several times but I didn't notice anything different behavior going on that got my attention. So either it wasn't activated from the factory or I didn't notice it-which seems unlikely.
I did just activate it per the owner's manual but it's raining here today so can't get out.

Kind of reminds me of an old 4 stroke thumper, shakes like one also.

When your bike is idling normally it goes:
Thump-Thump....Thump-Thump....Thump-thump.
With EITMS
Thump....Thump....Thump....
The only time mine kicked in was in Las Vegas, stuck on Las Vegas Blvd (the Strip) at 2:00pm in 118* heat. I almost melted before it kicked in. Couldn't get off the strip fast enough to get some air across the cylinders. Yes, that time my leg (in shorts) got hot!

I rarely wear anything else, regardless of the season, unless my wife makes me for a particular event.
