I bought some handlebars from timbersled and part of the idea was to get rid of all the handlbar controls. Soo all I have is a throttle cable and brake cable coming up the handle bars. All the other stuff (e-brake, handwarmer, thumbwarmer) have been removed. I started up the sled and got code 81 which has something to do with the handwarmers. I unhooked the handwarmers under the cowling. Any fix to this? Do i just need to reset the computer? If so how do I do it.

This is what my sled kind of looks like

not sure on the handwarmer issue, but let's see a full on shot of that sled. paint looks a little different.
 
So if I am reading this right you are not running any hand or thumb warmers right?

My guess is that when you unhooked everything the computer is looking for the complete hand/thumb warmer circuit, and since it is unhooked - it is throwing the code.

You may just try to insert a jumper (or similar) across the unplugged wires to see if you can get it to shut off - it may not be that simple if the computer is looking for a set resitance across the circuit???

Are you riding this weekend? Looks like there will be some new snow - blizzard conditions forecast for the NE plains, hope some of that hits the mountians on the way there.
 
I plugged back in the handwarmers and handwarmer adjustments. turned the handwarmers all the way off and removed it again and no code :)

TMK. I'll be riding somewhere this weekend. Here are the places I was thinking of.
- Cottonwood
- Vail Pass
- Rabbit Ears

All depends on who has the most snow

What about you?
 
Glad you got rid of the code - nice and easy 'fix'

I won't be riding this weekend, I am (maybe?) getting on a flight tomorrow for a business trip. United is already cancelling flights out of Denver so I may have to wait and fly out on Saturday - we'll see.

Post some pics if you ride -
