Additional information
This heated hand grip wire harness, part number 725-04216B, connects the electrical system to the heated grips so they receive consistent power during operation. Proper routing and secure connections help ensure even heating and reliable performance.
If the heated grips stop warming, work intermittently, or lose power completely, the wire harness may be damaged, pinched, or have loose or corroded connectors. Visible wear, broken insulation, or disconnected terminals can also indicate a problem.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Route the harness away from moving parts and hot surfaces, secure it with existing clips or fasteners, and confirm all electrical connections are fully seated.
