Well, my bike's sitting on the interstate entrance ramp with the throttle cable tab broken. I locked the bike's steering walked home and now I'm waiting for my brother in law and his trailer.
It might be a blown hernia getting' that thing in the the trailer, btw.
This bike is still under warranty. Is this a problem w/ the heated grips?
I might try to cut a slot into the grip to get home but the position on the interstate ramp is rather dangerous.
Should I just go back to regular grips?
Are there better after market grip available?
addendum:
Tried to McGiver the throttle slot and was no go...but bike had enough torque
to idle into the trailer no problem.
I might just forgo the heated grips and go stock
both sides. Are stock grips more reliable? I wonder if these grips are under warranty?
I'm the second owner and am not sure if the heated grips were an add-on.
