Grip heating
1 Grip heating switch
The handlebar grips have
two-stage heating. Grip
heating can be activated only
when the engine 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
battery's starting capability.
