What if you don't have cruise control?

You still have the icon for cruise control on the tach and follow the same procedure.

Yep, same here. It remembers the last setting. I've got it enabled and can't imagine anyone wanting to turn it off. Why would you want your engine to run hotter when stuck in traffic?

So... I just went out to the garage to try the enablement procedure. I got nothing from the cruise control light, red or green. I'm thinking it's because I have a Power Commander installed "in front" of the ECM. You think so too? If that's the case then I'm not too worried because I'm running a richer mixture than comes from the factory and that alone should keep it cooler anyway. Still...

I have a PCV on my 09 FLHR, the EITMS works fine "on mine" the only thing I have noticed is you have to give it a little throttle before pulling away from a dead stop or the bike can stall. Otherwise all good.

Hmmm... then it must be because my bike falls within the build date range that requires dealer intervention. We'll see tomorrow when they open.

Is this feature only on the june'07 and newer bikes?
I have a '05 RG and was wondering if it was an option on mine?
