- With the "Bring it Home" parade with Adam Sandoval coming up, I thought this would be a good time to remind people of this feature. Not all bikes have it, so check your owners manual for more info. Disclaimer: I am not a motorcycle tech.

Brian, thank you! A buddy told me if I get hung up in traffic “stop n go” to roll my (16 Road King) throttle forward and it will prevent from over heating, who knew there was a name for it, “Parade Mode” I love it!
My buddy didn’t know he had it either on his 09 Ultra and I showed him “your video “ & now he is all happy! Keep ‘em on 2 & on the road. Cheers!
I knew mine had it and last year got stuck in the crawl and the heat and didn’t know how to enable it. Good tip, and ride safe brother! See you at the BIH!
Just so everyone knows, this function started around 2009 I think. My 09 ultra has it. Thank you and the little lady for all the great content. Ride safe and have fun. Will be at BH event in spirit.
I believe you are right my dads dyna custom had it
Mine as been enabled for the last two years. Good video thanks for sharing
Well I try it on my 2015 Road King and those lights came on.. i thought this was just for the 2017 Milwaukee 8 engines. But I think the M8's do it everytime you stop, like at red light. And this function is if you're stuck in traffic for a long period of time. Kudos dude you just taught thousands of guys a new trick and probably save a lot of engines. 😎🤘🍺
Glad I could help someone at least!
I have the 2017 Road King Special and the EITMS works the same. You can turn it on or off using same procedure. You can turn it on and off while stopped at a light as well. Just roll and hold the throttle forward until cruise light turns green "on" or orange/red "off".
@@akmadman-6817 yeah the same on my King. I left it on but haven't sit in one place enough to see if it kicks the back head off. Going to Myrtle beach this weekend so I should see if it work down there.
@@carolinarider5237 I'm interesting in hearing if you notice a difference in the heat coming off engine at idle with the EITMS on. I've heard some say it is noticeable and others say not so much.
@@akmadman-6817 ok I just now let it idle for over 5 mins and I didnt hear anything kicking out. Sounded the same. But I dont know how long you are really supposed to let it idle, or how long it takes before it kicks out.
2024 and you answered my question on why my new to me 2013 Ultra was doing this🤙
That is great info. I will check mine now since we start our journey at 5am from jersey. Thanks man!
Safe travels guys!
Holy shit a way to make a Harley even slower.
Damn I thought you were joking and were going to show how to put a beer holder on or something. Cool that HD added the function to their bikes. Great share, have fun at the parade!
I told my coworker I should have made a candy shooter and uploaded that instead 😂
This information was in my owners manual for my 2019 Deluxe.
If you don't have Cruise control roll the throttle back until the light goes green
That's something I didn't know for sure, and I was at the Bring it Home parade and it was awesome to be a part of it 💯,new Sub here Brother 🇺🇸💪🇺🇸
Thankfully the parade moved along well this year and this feature wasn't needed. Thanks for swinging by the channel and thanks for helping Bring it Home!
@@LifeontheBlacktop anytime Brother it was a great time ✌️ N ❤️ brother 💯
I wish I had proper cruise control! Nice tip dude!
Great videos. Mine does that and it works great. Hope to see you Saturday
It can be turned on, but only engages if the engine is above a certain temperature. Also, it runs differently, sounds different, and smokes a bit. I was told by my dealer never to use this unless absolutely necessary.
Bro ur smile made me smile but thank you for this vid.
Infectious smiles, I'll take it! You're welcome, hope it helped!
exactly what I needed to know about my 2020 Road King. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Had no idea! Thanks! Great information!
cool seeing you two thanks for the quick selfie.. wish I would've took time to chat a little I just don't like to bug people.. we had a blast I'm sure you two did too.
Great meeting you as well brother! Thanks for coming over to say hi. And I understand, I'm the same way, but you totally wouldn't have been bugging us. 🤘
That only works at idle. As soon as you roll the throttle it goes back to running on 2 cyl. It will automatically switch to 1 cyl if you're idling for extended periods of time in hot weather. 2008 Electra classic
Good information to have man. So close... so excited!!!
I was at the bring it home parade.
Thanks for the info
FYI...All the 2018 and newer Softtails and touring have this feature. Does NOT have to have cruise control to activate.
Doesn't work on my 2021 FXLRS; dealer service confirmed that.
@@papertrail44 ..it should as my sons fxbb has it.
Try turning your throttle grip FORWARD then letting it go. If it rolls forward...YOUR BIKE HAS IT.If it doesnt then you dont have it
That's a very nice feature, it lobes pretty hard.
Great video
It only works when your sitting still. If the bikes moving it's still firing on both cylinders.
Holy crap dude ... that goatee looks like ball bag hair!
😎
I had absolutely no idea this existed
I have a 2012 Ultra Classic and when it's Hot it will do it on it's own . I know what you mean it sounds Funky but it works always freaks me out a bit when it kicks in.
I did not know that. Thanks for sharing for the rest of us dummies! Lol
I was told that using that mode was not good for the bike , as it still pumps fuel to that back cylinder , it just don't have spark to fire it . I am sure some tech guy can answer what it all dose.
That mode effectively turns the rear cylinder into an air pump, reducing the heat produced by the motor.
It turns off Fuel and spark.

I just have 3 hoses and a “Y” adapter , and I just blow through the first hose and it cools the engine by 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
I've heard that about you. 😂
Learn something new every day. I didn’t know about this till now. Thank you, and have a good day.
Dude that is great, Thanks !
Welcome!
This work on my 2020 softail stranded with no cruise control
Cool fact to know brother ! Thx ! 🤘🏽
Man I’m betting barely anyone knows this, it’d be good to hear what it sounds like running on one cyclinder
D. W. Yeh man, I try my best not to ride her like she’s stolen in hope 🙏 that she ages well! But she’s only 15 model with 16km on the clock so far so good!
Excellent tip. I have a 14 Ultra Ltd with EITMS so I should be able. Have to try it tomorrow. 😎😎
Thanks for the info I never knew about that..
My goldwing is always in parade mode.
Stuff rolling it forward guys my top tip is roll that throttle all the way back and hold it all the way back until u wana stop. Simples
Thanks, I didn’t know that!
IF It will not go green means it off and will not come on ?
I think I’ve engaged it accidentally a few times on my 2009 street glide I’ve had about 6 months. Like the other day, I turned at a stop light and got on the throttle and let off fast to stop and it sounded like my bike had a Jake break like a semi truck. It happens randomly. Sounds bad ass when it happens. I’ve been searching this morning for info about it. Didn’t get an owners manual with my used bike
Ha! That happens to me once in awhile too. The first time it happened I was kind of freaked out til I remembered I had the feature. I don't know if you have Facebook or not but there is a Harley owners manual group there that you can download pdf manuals from. My dyna didn't come with one either so I got one from there, printed it off and put it in a binder in the garage just in case.
@@LifeontheBlacktop thanks. So do you think that’s what it is ? I’m accidentally engaging the parade mode ? It sounds bad ass when it happens. Almost like what a Harley should sound like . I’ve had a 1997 softail springer about 15 years and it’s always sounded good dropping gears as i slow down. This street glide and fuel injection sure sounds different and has taken some getting used to. Feels like a lazy boy recliner compared to my softail that I took for a spin the other day. And put back in the shed immediately.
Definitely could be. I would try it purposely and see if it's the same reaction to when you're accidentally doing it. If not, might be something to check into further. And yes, these touring bikes will make a person too comfortable sometimes 😂
Great tip, thanks👍
works opposite in later models 17 on up roll back the throtlle to the stop and hold till EITMS comes on
My 2013 Deluxe has this built in to the ECM. Only ever felt it engage once when I got stuck on a narrow bridge under construction. Not a pleasant feeling or sound.
Yeah it's definitely weird.
Will this active automatically if the engine gets to hot ?
As long as it's enabled it's suppose to, yes.
Yes
Install a fan assisted oil cooler.
Can you do this while running in a traffic jam or do I have to turn off the engine then do this.?
I think you can but don't quote me on that.
I was wondering why my exhaust sounded different at a stop . So do you recommend leaving it in Parade mode or taking it off!
I would leave it off. If you ever do a parade or find yourself in a situation that requires it, you could turn it on then.
@@LifeontheBlacktop appreciate it. Will it damage the bike , if I leave it on??
@@infiniteg7852 I would say no my dads 09 dyna had it on and he rode the bike to 50,000 miles and still ran strong
Didn’t know my bike had this feature. I’ll enable it and see if the engine stops roasting my right leg.
Good to know, but this years Bring it Home Parade was much better organized and we were all smart enough to not start our bikes until our line was set to move.
It most definitely was. But I heard a few people that didn't know better. Lol
Where did you get that drink holder? I haven't seen one like that before.
Both my driver and passenger ones are from ciro 3d. They work great, unlike my last one lol. I have a separate video installing each one if you're interested. Pretty simple to do. They also have a giant one that's made for yeti tumbler style cups.
Awesome thank you very much. I plan on checking out your other videos.
So it only available on bikes with cruise control?
A few commenters have said no, they have it without cruise. But I don't honestly know.
Cruise control is NOT required for this to enable/disable EITMS - However, AFAIK this will ONLY work on bikes with the Fly by Wire throttle control.
I will try this on the Hayabusa.😀
Lol probably still be able to pull a mile long wheelie
leaving around 2 or 3 this afternoon.
Safe travels. 🤘
Hope to see you there. You're the guy with the scraggly beard, right? ;)
That's me! Lol
@@LifeontheBlacktop Well at the very least ya gotta let me get a selfie.....with Mrs. BTD. ;) lol
awwwww poor lost soul, hehehe good tips i guess if you got a big one (bike that is ) . no worries here due have ole-school sportster 95
I had a 95 sporty. I miss that bike
Whats parade mode?
Gotta watch it to find out!
What part of this video deserves a thumbs down? I seriously worry about the human race sometimes.
Haha maybe the fact harley added this crap to disable rear cylinder.. blah fuck em
Calling EITMS "parade mode". It only works when the clutch is disengaged completely. It would not change anything about the bike slowly cruising along in a parade.
Horrible for your compensator tho
🤘🤘🤘🥃🥃🤘🤘🤘
They also have an automatic douchebag mode built right in, it engages as soon as you sit on one of these shit heaps.
Thanks Todd
Or just buy a Honda motorcycle and don't worry about it
Pitts S2C boring
Parade mode. Fuck me ! Too much shit on there bikes anymore I'll stick to my hardtail !!
