Default Engine Idle Temperature Management Strategy

Anyone know if the Engine Idle Temperature Management Strategy is on the 2009 Heritage Classic & if it can be turned on?
Many thanks.

Default Idle mgmt.

Yes it is and my understanding is that the only the dealer can switch it off. Not like the baggers where the owner can. Here in 'Vegas it gets pretty hot and mine activates frequently when stopped in traffic.

Oops, meant to say only the dealer can turn off AND on.

Default Same Question, different bike.

What about the 2009 FatBoy? I could swear that I've asked my dealer this question before about having the EITMS on mine turned on, only to find that the 2009 doesn't have it.

Anyone know when they started putting them on the FatBoy?

Good question and thread,

I was told my 2011 Blackline has the option but can only be activated by HD. However I was going to go in and get it activated but was advised by a couple of friends not to activate it.

Any feedback on negatives on this? As no-one seems to be able to advise me as to why I should not activate it and only just suggest not too.

Summer over here can reach 58 degrees! and summer has already started and the temp is reaching 33 so come June - August you can imagine the heat and the affects it has on the brain too The night times are ok not as bad just humid.

Engine oil cooler is being installed next month

On my 08 Rocker, I thought they told me it had it and it was turned on automatically?? It get's warm here in summer, but I suspect, not like you...LOL. I usually don't sit in traffic though...if I hit some, I go another way.
Ps Seems like it would be nice riding out through the desert on a star filled warm night??

It can be turned on with the SEPST, if you already have it.

I am not sure what bike/yr has it, but I know in 5 yrs mine has cut one cyl out three times when she got hot waiting for trains.

1st time I didn't know what was going on. but as soon as I give her a little gas she smoothed up again.
