I've had mine turned on since I bought the bike and haven't had any issues with it. Recently while riding with others in a parade, their bikes were overheating and shutting down while mine ran just fine. Even a late year Victory Vision overheated and shutdown but none of them had EITMS.
I have owned Harley's for years and when I got my 2012 it was the first one I had owned with a cat, it was gone a month later, couldn't deal with the heat, yes they are air cooled and I was already used to some heat but that Cat had to go.
