Testing Handlebar
Warmer Elements
(EFI Models/Panther 570)
NOTE: To access the element connectors, the
handlebar control assembly for the side being
tested must be removed.
NOTE: During this test, resistance will vary due
to temperature; therefore, this test should be made
at room temperature of 20° C (68° F).
1. Remove the handlebar pad (if applicable); then
disconnect the handlebar warmer three-wire
connector.
2. In the element connector, connect one ohmmeter
lead to the green/white lead; then connect the other
ohmmeter lead to the green lead.
3. The meter must read between 6.3-7.7 ohms.
4. In the element connector, connect the ohmmeter
between the green/blue and green lead wires.
5. The meter must read between 12.6 and 15.4 ohms.
6. Replace any element measuring less than or more
than the specified amount.
NOTE: Repeat test for the other element.
7. Connect the leads; then install the handlebar control
assembly and secure the handlebar pad (if
applicable
