Grip heating
Grip heating can be acti-
vated only when the en-
gine is running. The increase in
power consumption caused by
the grip heating can drain the
battery if you are riding at low
engine speeds. If the charge
level is low, grip heating is
switched off to ensure the bat-
tery's starting capability.c
