INSTALLING
1. Connect the HI/LO beam harness to the switch; then
place the control assembly on the handlebar.
2. Secure with the four screws.
Testing Handlebar Warmer
Elements
 NOTE: Resistance will vary due to temperature;
therefore, this test should be made at room tempera-
ture of 20° C (68° F).

NOTE: To access the element connectors, the han-
dlebar control assembly for the side being tested must
be removed.
1. Disconnect the handlebar warmer three-wire connec-
tor.
2. In the element connector, connect one ohmmeter
lead to the green/white lead; then connect the other
ohmmeter lead to the green lead.
3. The meter must read between 12.6-15.4 ohms.
4. In the element connector, connect the ohmmeter
between the green/blue and green lead wires.
5. The meter must read between 6.3-7.7 ohms.
6. Replace any element measuring less than or more
than the specified amount.

NOTE: Repeat test for the other element.
7. Connect the leads; then install the handlebar control
assembly.
Testing Thumb Warmer
Element
 NOTE: Resistance will vary due to temperature;
therefore, this test should be made at room tempera-
ture of 20° C (68° F).
 NOTE: To access the element connector, the
right-side handlebar control assembly must be
removed.
1. Disconnect the thumb warmer three-wire connector.
2. In the element connector, connect one ohmmeter
lead to the green/white lead; then connect the other
ohmmeter lead to the green lead.
3. The meter must read between 1.5 and 6.9 ohms.
4. In the element connector, connect the ohmmeter
between the green/blue lead and the green lead.
5. The meter must read between 5.5 and 23.0 ohms.

NOTE: If either test is not within specification,
replace the thumb warmer element.
6. Connect the leads; then install and secure the
right-side handlebar control assembly.

Warmer/Thumb Warmer
Switch
REMOVING/TESTING
1. Remove the four screws securing the left-side han-
dlebar control assembly; then remove the control
assembly from the handlebar.
2. Disconnect the handlebar/thumb warmer harness
from the switch.
3. With the thumb warmer toggle in the low position,
connect one ohmmeter lead to pin (C) and the other
ohmmeter lead to pin (B). The meter must read 1
ohm or less resistance.

4. With the thumb warmer toggle in the high position,
connect one ohmmeter lead to pin (C) and the other
ohmmeter lead to pin (A). The meter must read 1
ohm or less resistance.
 NOTE: If either test does not read within specifica-
tion, replace the complete control assembly.
5. With the hand-warmer toggle in the low position,
connect one ohmmeter lead to pin (C) and the other
ohmmeter lead to pin (D). The meter must read 1
ohm or less resistance.
6. With the hand-warmer toggle in the high position,
connect one ohmmeter lead to pin (C) and the other
ohmmeter lead to pin (E). The meter must read 1
ohm or less resistance.

NOTE: If either test does not read within specifica-
tion, replace the complete control assembly.
INSTALLING
1. Connect the handlebar/thumb warmer harness to the
switch; then place the control assembly on the han-
dlebar.
2. Secure with the four screws.
