Grip warmer adjusting knob This vehicle is equipped with grip
warmers, which can only be used when
the engine is running.
Use the grip warmer adjusting knob, lo-
cated near the accessory box, to adjust
the grip warmer temperature.
The grip warmer adjusting knob can be
set between the “LO” and “HI” posi-
tions. To raise the temperature, turn the
knob in direction (a). To lower the tem-
perature, turn the knob in direction (b).
Align the“” mark on the knob with
“OFF” to turn the grip warmers off.
NOTE:When the vehicle is stopped or travel-
ing at extremely low speeds (e.g., in
traffic jams), the grip warmer tempera-
ture is lower than when traveling athigher speeds.CAUTION:

of the frame. Raise the sidestand or
lower it with your foot while holding the
vehicle upright.NOTE:The built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system, which
cuts the ignition in certain situations.

The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the side-
stand cannot be properly moved up
(or does not stay up), otherwise the
sidestand could contact the ground
and distract the operator, resulting
in a possible loss of control.

system has been designed to assist
the operator in fulfilling the respon-
sibility of raising the sidestand be-
