Heated handles

The heating element in the handles consists of ceramic plates. These are self-regulating
with regard to temperature. When temperature increases, the resistance in the elements
lowers and so does the temperature. So no separate thermostat is needed.
Remove the throttle from the handle.
In order to have access, the bolt that
holds the throttle and the cover with the
circuit breaker must be removed to reach
the electrical cables.
