Wire connected to seat....?

[canamjhb]

2014 Spyder RTL has a wire bundle connected to the seat under the passenger, right side. Does this mean there is a heated seat? I only have controls for heated grips and they work fine but did not check to see if the seat heats up too. Just curious. This is Arid-Zone-A, it's 110 and heading for 115 today & I don't need any more heat on my rear.....

We like to tell folks that it's for the passenger ejection function!
But it's actually there for a sensor that monitors for the presence of a passenger, and adjusts the front to rear brake bias accordingly.

Thank you, Bob.

Glad to help out...
It's actually one of the few technical questions that I know the answer to!

Yes, Bob has you covered. The ejector mechanism is a more fun answer though.

I think the ejector theory is the only thing my wife needs to know.....

That is a "pillion" sensor for the second ryder. If you happen to leave it unplugged, you will get a C1183 trouble code. No need to ask me how I know.........

The switch turns on some LED's, but i wanted to have fun with it so designed that graphic, and had a printing company put it on the switch.

That IS a pretty cool switch!
I'll bet that there's a market for it!
