I have a 2011 Softail Heritage Classic. I'm interested in turning on the Engine Idle Temperature Management System (EITMS). If I understand correctly this feature automatically shuts off rear cylinder at stops and auto restarts. According to my owners manual this feature comes from the factory in the OFF position.
Function. Frame sliders have a very simple purpose: protect your bike in the event of a crash. Specifically, they will come in handy in the event of a lowside type crash, where you lose traction and your motorcycle slides out from under you and down the road.
Crash bars will protect the bike when they drop at low speeds or when parked. On off-road bikes, they keep branches and the like from damaging plastics and cooling systems. On stunt bikes, frame sliders can protect from engine cases and plastics from kissing the pavement (good luck with the handlebars).
