Was middle of the ride and hardly warm but on trail ride home they got hotter. My 14XM are just far superior I guess, I'll buy thicker gloves just in case.
my heaters get WAY TOO HOT
i got the switch wet and it froze over night .. couldn't turn down the heaters and I had to pull over and cool them down with snow

Want to make sure I'm not having some electrical problem...
Sounds like Menopause in this tread
To hot to cold who knows.
My XM heaters would get so hot that they discoloured my leather gloves. The Gen 4 are just right for my like warm enough but not so hot that it hurts. So yes correct not quite as hot as my XM.

The primary clutch is adjustable if you are above 7950 +/_ 100 rpm go down one click on your clutch to the 2 position if you are under RPM go up one click, adjust all three at the same time for about a 200 RPM change, the same as XM clutches. There are six positions in total and most clutches come in the unmarked (3) position to allow for about 400 RPM in either direction. Adjustment takes a couple of minutes and can be done using the bent key that is included. The owners manual describes this procedure clearly.
Hand warmers: the XM charging system wasn't putting out fully until in the upper RPM range (I don't recall what RPM was in the manual). Its possible that some are experiencing the same thing on the 850 if riding around more slowly. My warmers would only slightly warm up at idle but got much warmer very quickly once on the trail. Haven't picked up my shop manual yet and didn't check the owners manual.

The handlebar heaters are definitely not as hot as my 14XM. They get warm but definitely not hot! I am running well above 6000 rpm's so it's not cause by idling or driving slow. The alternator output is supposed to be increased so that's not the problem either.
Does anyone have a wiring diagram to try to help diagnose the problem?
Thanks
