That method only works on bikes that have electronic throttles (no cables).  And it doesn't work on demand, the trick with the throttle roll back is part of a procedure that you perform with the engine off to set the automatic system either to enabled or disabled.  Once enabled, the actual shutdown of the rear cylinder is controlled by the ECM based on the criteria posted earlier (engine temp, rpm, throttle opening, etc.).

Bikes without electronic throttles require either a visit to the dealer for a download, or as noted by MikeV you can turn it on or off with the TTS MasterTune software.

You can enable or disable anytime the bike is not moving, running or not.

read your owners manual thoroughly. its on the 09's,10's and 11's. you can enable/disable with the bike off. no need to hook up a computer or take it to dealer

I'm sure this is more or less something that is bike year/model specific.

I can guarantee you that there are no provisions in my manual to flip this setting on my 09 FXSTSSE3.  I would have had to take her into the dealer.

Here's a suggestion:  Someone with a current model Touring bike or Convertible scan and post the instructions from your manual detailing how to enable or disable the system.  Cuts out all the who shot John misinformation.

For those who don't have rider controlled EITMS, it can still be either turned off or turned on by the dealership or through the use of software packages like TTS MasterTune.

Oh, and btw, ezpgh is correct, Harley changed the system so that now you don't have to have the engine shut off to do the enable or disable routine, you just have to be at idle sitting still.  However, that just enables or disables the ability of the system to work automatically, it doesn't mean you can shut down the rear cylinder at will by rolling back the throttle.  The other conditions must still be present for the system to shut down the rear cylinder, ie. cylinder head temp, rpm, sitting still, throttle position, etc.

Enable/Disable EITMS
1. Turn the ignition ON with the bike at idle and not moving (the bike may be running or not running).
2. Push the throttle to roll-off position and hold.
3. After approximately 3 seconds, the cruise indicator will flash either red (disabled) or green (enabled).
4. Repeat procedure to change.

Great idea.  Here the pics come, sorry for the quality (although still readable) used my phone and too sick to get up and fetch my real camera.  I just happen to keep my user manuals close to where I sleep.  You never know when you'll wake up with a question in your head that needs answering. 

5 Pics in all.

Thank you.  Glad to see I haven't lost my mind and that the "bible" corresponds to what I've been telling people.

EITMS on my FLSTSE2 has activated several times when stopped in traffic...  I can tell mostly be the change in sound.. idle is still smooth and the back cylinder comes alive at the slightest throttle up.. I leave the feature enabled...

You can only disable/enable via throttle on fly by wire bikes, and it does not need to be off. I've had one and changed at lights or any time I was still.

Are you sure?

it's very usefull indeed as an early warning. I would never disable it.

LOL Hell I just learned soemthing new about my 2010 Conv
I thought the EITMS was only on the new non-cable systems.
Now it all makes sense.........I live in Tampa and right after I bought it i went on a poker run and we were stop and go all day and a couple of times I thought the idle changed at a stop and then I did smell this wierd smell like something was hot...i.e. the manual says you could have a "unique odor" LOL

Yup I missed that somehow when I "thought" I read the freaking manual inside and out! Dealer never said a damn thing to me about it on mine; but when I was there last week he was showing me the system on a 2011 on the floor

FYI everyone...it is that red color and they have a 2011SEUCEG in he Red/Black....Tampa Harley...see Gary or Josh...good guys
