You hit the nail on the head with this one. I learned that from painful experience. I had the dealer leave mine off because I don't care for the looks and after riding my dads 09 I didn't have any problems. Wow, the 10 was a whole different story. I was cooking big time without them and had to put them back on. This winter I removed them when I installed the cams and left them off. So far things have been very much cooler without them.

I have also heard the engine will shut down before it self destructs, I have also heard it will not. I am not talking about the EITMS shutting down the rear cylinder, they are supposed to shut down both cylinders down when the temperature goes into the destructive area.
I would be interested if anybody else has heard this and knows how this works, ECM program?

The only other option is the Power Management mode that will shut down the motor to idle mode if you are riding it too hard. Some think this is the EITMS but it is not the same.
