In other words don't wait till the engine is hot to start minimizing rear cylinder heat.
Got this from a phone call to HD headquarters vai local dealer about my 2014 limited. I'm assuming it applies to all 2014 touring models.

In fact I was able to trick the bike into thinking that the ambient temp was above 80 by placing the temp sensor on top of the front rocker box on a day when the actual temps were in the low 70's. The EITMS would activate at every stoplight.
