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.

The heating element in the throttle
is accessed when the throttle lock is
pushed out of the throttle.
Pry off the locking catch and lift out the
heating element.
