This might be a very stupid question. On my Transalp
i've this grip heater with three positions marked.
Those are "off", "start" and "on". What i wonder is
how to operate it - maily, what's the difference
between "start" and "on".
I hope that somebody's seen it before and knows. It
works fins heating but i'm curious how to use it more
effectively and properly.

Does the installation look like it's professionally done? A hobbyist
who designed his own heated grip system might use any switch he could
get, regardless of inscription on it. "Start" is probably the low heat
setting, and "On" is probably the high heat setting. There are several
different heated grip manufacturers, like "Hot Grips" who claims to
have invented heated grips, but people have also built their own
heated grip systems, using nichrome wire and a 2.5 ohm cermaic
resistor for the low heat setting.

It might be so. I don't know if it's a home-designed
or a proffesional setup but it sure sounds plausible,
the low/high setting you mentioned.
Thanks!

Seems to me that "Start" is means "extra toasty for when the grips and
your fingers are really cold" and "on" means "enough to keep things
toasty once they've warmed up."

It seems to correspond to what i've experienced.
Thanks!
