So, a couple months ago I used the heat on my hand grips on the way to work.
I only used the low setting, I've never used high. But that's irrelevant. Anyway, I forgot to turn them off when i got to work, and when i got off work, they were extremely hot to the touch. Now you would think that they would be OFF when ignition is off. But evidently NOT. So I turned the switch off and proceeded to ride home. The throttle was so tight, it couldn't snap back when I let off it. Until it cooled down some.
So now, anytime I use the heat, the throttle gets tight and won't snap back. It's like I have a throttle lock on it.
I'm guessing that it distorted the plastic sleeve or something else when it over heated. I haven't torn it apart yet. Probly a winter project.
Anybody else know if their heat doesn't shut off with the ignition?
