• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Heated Grip Button Stuck

My heated grip button is stuck. Due to warm weather I decided I wanted to turn it off, but unfortunately I cannot turn the heated grip button off. The button is fully depressed and stuck in that position.
My question to you is how do I help free up heated grip button, so that I can switch of the heated grips?:dontknow:
 
If you turn the ring that is around the key slot counter-clockwise the ring will come off. Then you can lift the plastic piece up that the heated grip switch is attached to. Once you can see under the switch there is a clip that you can push that unlocks the wiring from the switch. This will turn off the grips. If you wish to investigate further, you will see a lock ring under the plastic panel attached to the switch. You should be able to turn the lock counter-clockwise also. It should unscrew and come completely off the switch. Then you can remove the switch and press on and off to see if it still works. If the switch is stuck and won't push, then get dealer to replace.

Spray switch button with WD-40 let it sit for a bit then tap button several times with your finger first before doing any thing else.
 
Thank you

I would like to thank JKMSPYDER, BruceB and Dan McNally for the above info. JKMSPYDER, I have noted your instructions and will use them, if all fails I will let dealer repair under warranty.:thumbup:

Hi JKMSPYDER,

After following your instructions, I am know able to turn on and off my heated grips button. The task took less than 5 minutes. Thank you again and this is why I love SL, because there is always someone on hand to help you when you need it.:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

Don't use wd40!!! It will only attract more gunk

get a can of electrical contact cleaner and give it a shot or two

As stated a can of electrical contact cleaner. CRC available @ Home Depot
