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.
A motorcycle frame includes the head tube that holds the front fork and allows it to pivot. Some motorcycles include the engine as a load-bearing, stressed member. The rear suspension is an integral component in the design. Traditionally frames were steel, but titanium, aluminium, magnesium, and carbon-fibre, along with composites of these materials, are now used. Because of different motorcycles' varying needs of cost, complexity, weight distribution, stiffness, power output and speed, there is no single ideal frame design.
