Default What is this download called, and is it worth getting.

What is the download called that turns the back cylinder off if the engine gets to hot, or the rpm's drop so low? My guess is that it is not this Stage one I hear about. I know that my dealer well install it, and uninstall it once free. Is it worth getting for a 08 Ultra? What else does it do.

Stage 1 Download is worthless as it will still leave your Putt on the lean side

I spoke to one of the HD shops around here and they advised against the download! He said they had installed it on several police bikes and they did not like it at all. He did say that it is really intended for parades and such for your normal person they would not need it. Of course that is one person and the next may tell you different.

Living in CO where it is not too hot I will not be getting the download.

It's on your bike and you can arm it and disarm it your self on the 08 RG.
Page 140 of the owners manuelon the RG.


[blockquote]quote:

Vehicles are delivered from the factory withEITMS daisabled.
EITMS can be enabled or disabled by the rider using the following proceedure.

1. Turn the ingnitionswitch tothe ON position (do not start the motorcycle)

2. Push the throttle to roll-off position and hold.

3.After approx. 3 seconds, the cruise indicator lamp will will either flash green(EITMS enabled) orred (EITMS diabled)

4. Repeat the procedureas needed to enable or diable EITMS.[/blockquote]

This is how it is on an 08 RG. I would think that you could do this on any Bike with cruise or FBW throttle.

I have an 07. I had it enabled on my scoot last year. It does work well when the head temps hit the trigger point. Rear cylinder shuts down and cools off very quickly. As soon as you roll on the throttle, the rear cylinder kicks back in with no hesitation.

I have not seen any ill effects so far and it does reduce the heat when it kicks in. Hope this helps.
