RE: 07 Ultra Passenger Heat Problem

They address the heat problem of the Twin Cam 96 engine in the April edition of Rider magazine. Harley indeed admits there is a problem with a small number of the '07 and '08 Touring models (primarily Electra Glides and Ultra's) rear cylinder getting uncomfortably hot under certain conditions. H-D dealers have an ECU rehash available at no charge called the Engine Idle Temperature Management System. EITMS is available for all 2007-2008 Touring models. Like the guy told the other poster....it does indeed shut off the fuel to the rear cylinder at idle which allows it to cool rapidly. Once cool enough or the rider accelerates both cylinders fire normally. Harley hasn't made the EITMS standard on the Touring Twin Cams because it says there's nothing wrong with the standard ECU mapping and the heat is only a problem to a small number of owners. There is also a midmount frame air defector that can help too. My question is how much heat is normal? I'm getting my first Ultra next month....I know some is expected but how much?
