    Default Heated seat

    I have a 2014 R T S with NO heated seat, so why is there wires plunged into the bottom of the seat??

    It's a sensor for the computer to know if a passenger is on the bike. Changes some settings.

    Default Different reason....

    much like many cars that have a light stating the passenger airbag is off when no one is in the seat.

    What settings does it change? That does make some since, however I notice no difference passenger or not.

    It adjusts the air bag pressure when passenger sits on the Spyder

    I believe the brake system acts differently in an emergency with a passenger aboard.
