Automatic Compression Release (ACR)
Vehicles with Twin Cam 103 and larger engines are equipped with an Automatic Compression
Release (ACR). During starting, a small auxiliary valve in the cylinder head is opened
automatically by the ECM. The open valve releases the air compressed in the cylinder heads and
allows the starter motor to turn the high compression engine over at a faster rate to aid starting.
After starting and during normal operation, the ACR valves remain closed.
Engine Idle Temperature Management System
For those riders who frequently find themselves in riding conditions where the vehicle is subjected
to prolonged idle conditions or traffic congestion, the motorcycle is equipped with an Engine Idle
Temperature Management System (EITMS) to provide limited cooling of the rear cylinder.
Operation
When engine temperature reaches a predetermined point, the EITMS will turn off the rear cylinder
fuel injector. Idle speed will be maintained, however the rear cylinder will become an "air pump"
which will work to cool the engine.
EITMS will activate (rear cylinder will turn off) when all of the following conditions are met:
