You will probably just have 2 dead, unused wires on the extensions. Shouldn't be a big deal at all. If the dealership did it like I am planning on doing it, they probably just extended the signal wires at the source, which means the Namz extensions just won't be connected to anything where the signal wires would normally be plugged in. You will still use the exact same connectors and everything, but the 1 prong in the connector where the signal wire should have been just won't be powering anything. You know what I mean?

 

BigRedFan74, I think what you are talking about is the rear cylinder deactivation. Harley calls it the Engine Idle Temperature Management Strategy feature. Here is what the Harley website has to say on it " With the Engine Idle Temperature Management Strategy (EITMS) feature, the motorcycle automatically cuts fuel and fire from rear cylinder when idling, which helps reduce engine heat felt by rider and passenger. This feature can easily be turned on by your dealer. " I'm not sure how it works with softails but my guess is that it comes on automatically somehow when the bike is idling. Of course this assumes that you have had the dealer turn the feature on. From what I understand the touring bikes can turn it on and off at will by rolling the throttle all the forward or something like that. I've not had a chance to try it yet so I'm not sure if it works very well. Hope that helps.

 

instead of pulling the throttle back, roll it forward, it should move just a bit (enough to notice it)..if your rear cylinder cuts out, you know it's active

 

Jim, I think the rider controlled EITMS is only available for touring bikes. The quote I put in my other post is from the Lo's page on Harley's site. This quote is from the page for the Road King Classic "With the Engine Idle Temperature Management Strategy (EITMS) feature, the motorcycle automatically cuts fuel and fire from the rear cylinder when idling, which helps reduce engine heat felt by rider and passenger. Best part, you can easily turn this feature on or off yourself whenever the bike is stopped." The Lo's specifically mentioned the dealer turning it on and the system functioning automatically, whereas the Road Kings specifically says it's user controlled. I would hope your right though since this feature is something I'm interested in since I'm in Florida now and I'd rather be able to control it myself.

 

If the EITMS is enabled on your bike it will activate when the head temps reach a certain temp. Sit long enough at a light on a warm day and you will soon know if you have it or not. My bike goes into rear cylinder shut down after a few min in stopped traffic. Never has it bothered me and when I take off the bike feels just as strong as ever. BTW I really don't notice any reduction in heat for rider comfort. It's still just plain hot.

 

So it doesn't sound like it's really worth it. I'm hoping to get an oil bud this year before it gets too hot. It's supposed to work really well but then it's pretty expensive too.

 

Hey Guys,
thought id put my 2 cents in

There is a rumor that our new "Monaro" basically a 2 door VXR8 is going to be your Camaro rebadged, From what I hear they are basically the same underneath and alot of the parts for the Camaro are made over here in aus so it could be true. (few other forums talking about it)

As for my Aus muscle car choice its the opposide offering from Ford Australia the GT Falcon that never seems to make it on any of the top gear shows unfortunately if it did i would have alot more to brag about to my GM mates.
They teach you from birth here in aus that your Ford or Holden thats why im ford but i would not say no to the camaro if they did start selling here very good looking ride. saying that I dont know how they will sell them as they are like 30k US and will prob sell them for 70k here!

PAFC64 / Rick what state you based in?

Its a sunny 25 deg here in SA

SGT Jim not all the women here are like that unfortunately..... just most of them

I had the dealer turn my EITMS on. I think it's worth it. It didn't cost me anything, and all it could do by being turned on is help, not hurt.
I also went with the RJs Originals heat shields. They work well and they blend well with the looks of the bike, and I get a lot of complements on them.
They don't just look like some random piece of plastic or leather heat shield that was thrown on the bike to just do their job and not look good.

Here's the website for the heatshield:

If your thinking of a oil cooler have you looked at these?

When I was researching them I looked at the Oil Bud which looks like a good product but this did about the same and was smaller and costs less and you didn't need to unattach it when you change the fluids. The only problem for me is it is not for 2011-2012 softails with ABS brakes. The front ABS brake solonoid is now where they put the oil cooler.

 

Does anyone know how the dealer turns it on / off? Can it be done via the SEPro tuner?

 

The dealer does it via computer through the ECM's diagnostic port.
I don't know about the SEPro tuner but I know for a fact that the Dynojet Power Vision can turn it off and on.
