The instructions say to turn the grips on to help loosen the glue. Does the bike have to be running for this to happen?

The heated grips will turn on; with the key in the ON position. However the Helibar instructions say to turn the grips on HIGH. It's best if you start the bike so the alternator is supplying that juice to them... instead of pulling it off the battery exclusively. The battery by itself will realize lost capacity if powering everything exclusively.

Yes......#8 is in red letters. The key must be turned on and the grips need to get HOT before using their clamp tool.
But it only take a few min to get hot on high and unless your battery is old the time needed to heat them up should not bother a good battery and remember the lights are on too, but there again a good battery will withstand this kind of use for for 5 min easy and once they are hot and you have started the removal process you can turn them off, that is what I did when I did mine.

Well it appears mine will not turn on while the bike isn't runnin. When I turn the key to in the grip light just flashes until I start it.
I am installing these while waiting on hurricane Nate to show up. I have it nice and cool in my shop and would rather not open the door to run it and let out all the cool air. I wonder if I can heat it enough with the wife's hair blow dryer?
