2. Remove the right side panel by removing three hex head
bolts (Figure 3). Remove the panel by pulling up on the
panel to unlatch it from the center panel. You may have to
jiggle the panel to help it unlatch. Figure 4.
3. Install the wire harness by attaching the wire with the fuse
to the positive terminal of the battery and the wire without the
fuse, to the negative terminal. Figure 5.
4. Route pigtail to seat area under the right panel. Be sure
to route wiring where it will not get pinched by anything,
keeping in mind potential pinch points when mounting the
front and rear saddles on the bike.
5. Bundle loose wiring and secure to subframe with included
zip ties. Do not tighten excessively or you may damage the
wiring...just secure it in place for cleanliness.
6. Plug in each seat and test (figures 6 & 7). To do this, just
plug the pigtail into the seat, turn on your ignition switch and
flip the switch on the saddle. If the switch illuminates, the
saddle heater is working.
7. If both seats work fine, reinstall your right side panel and
top tank panel and proceed with saddle mounting as outlined
above.
NOTE: The heater is controlled by the switch along the side
of both the front and rear saddles. The temperature is
regulated by an internal thermostat when the heater switch is
turned on.
