it was only 82 degrees when it came on!! Im not used to this feature. For those asking why I want to cut it off, if you've never heard it run with it enabled, it sounds terrible. I was only stopped on the interstate for a very short time and it kicks in. If it was 100 degrees out I would understand, but both times Ive noticed it was in the low 80's. Thanks for the help, that offered it.

 

Trade it in on a Softail, they are ready to rumble at a hairs notice. Im always sitting at the next bar waiting for you touring guys to show cause your engines have to restart to leave every light, lol!

 

naa, I'll just disable it. Rarely do I get caught sitting still in that much heat!!

 

got rid of cat and freeflowing mufflers with vieds and never comes on. although i do leave it enabled.

 

It kicks on when the front head hits 290 degrees and you are sitting still in neutral or the clutch engaged. Anything to help protect the engine and extend it's life the better. But to each his own. I'd be curious to know what is to hot for the front cylinder to hit in temp?

 

I agree. Just installed mine yesterday. No more single cylinder bop :-).

 

are the fans difficult to install? how long did it take?

 

I'm never in that much of a hurry that I'm worried about the half a nanosecond it takes for the EITMS to disengage, at a stoplight.

 

About 40-50 minutes. Just getting the wires run the way you want takes the most time.

 

It's fairly noticeable when the engine isn't running. It spins up kinda slowly so it takes a few seconds to get to maximum speed and when I turn the ignition on I hit the start button immediately so I never hear any noise at start up. The only time I hear them is when I shut the ignition off-I hear the fans spin down for a second or two.

What he said.

I've had mine kick on it the 70's. It all depends on how long the engine is idling, if there's a breeze blowing across the engine, if the sun is shining, etc. With no air flow the cylinder heads will heat up eventually.

LOL

That's cool. If you get caught for a long time and you're worried about cylinder head temp you can always enable the EITMS. However it will never kick out til you get moving again.

Mine took me a couple of hours. I pulled the tank to run the wires in the wiring race beneath it. Mounting the fans--pull the horn, place the fan bracket where the horn was then put the horn on top of the fan bracket and bolt it up.

You're right. The change over is not noticeable. I use to blip my throttle to disengage but it really wasn't necessary.
