Additional information
This heated hand grip switch, part number 725-04393, controls power to the heated grips so you can turn the feature on or off as needed. A properly functioning switch helps maintain consistent grip warmth during cold-weather operation.
If the heated grips do not turn on, shut off unexpectedly, or respond inconsistently when you operate the switch, the switch may be worn, damaged, or have loose electrical connections. Lack of response or intermittent operation can indicate a faulty switch.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Install the switch securely in the control panel, connect the wiring correctly, and confirm the switch operates smoothly and powers the grips as intended.
