See Heated Hand Grips. Models with heated hand grips have a variable heat control dial
located on the end of the left hand grip.
Rotate the control dial to align the desired setting with the arrow on the grip. The heat settings
range from 1 (minimum) to 6 (peak). Rotate to the OFF icon to turn off heat.
The hand grips are thermostatically controlled, providing a constant grip temperature regardless
of changes in the outside temperature. To prevent battery drain, heated hand grips should only be
used while the engine is running.
The sensor for thermostatic control is housed in the left hand grip. Maintaining consistent hand
contact with both left and right hand grips will produce the most consistent results. If the hand
grips are not producing heat, see Heated Hand Grips.
NOTE:
Allow approximately 20 minutes for grips to reach final operating temperature.

Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
The motorcycle is equipped with Electronic Throttle Control (ETC). Instead of using a mechanical
cable connection to the throttle body, this technology uses redundant grip sensors to indicate rider
requested throttle position to the Electronic Control Module (ECM). The ECM then regulates
proper fuel/air intake and ignition timing based on the rider request. The grip sensor is
manufactured with internal cams and spring retainer for natural feel and operation.
In the event of a component failure, the ETC operation is designed for rider safety and continued
motorcycle operation. The Electronic Control Module monitors the status of the grip sensors,
throttle plate actuation and airflow. If any problems are detected, the motorcycle will disable cruise
control, illuminate the check engine lamp, and revert to one of the following fallback modes.
ETC Limited Performance Mode
The rider will experience near normal operation. The motorcycle will operate with provisions to
guard against unintended acceleration.
