    Ive had better heated hand grips. On high the throttle side is much warmer than the clutch side, or vice versa. I really need a ride!!

    Plus the stock positioning of the heated grip switch is not the best. You have to take your throttle hand off the throttle to make a change. A thumb dial on the handlebar or something nearer the clutch side would have made more sense.

    Good point, thanks for the post. I am in the process of buying a F6, this type of info is useful. You usually do not find this things out until you own one.

    Agreed, I don't know why they wouldn't have used the dial like on the standard Wing. I don't like soft switches.

    I just went to the dealer and sat on one. It is not too bad of a reach to use your left hand.

    That's what I thought. With gear on and a full face helmet riding along on the highway or back road that reach is a reach. It annoys me because the heated grips I added to the DL650 had a simple dial I could hit with my left thumb. There could be a much better position for the button.

    apply the go cruise or whatever that throttle lock is called and push the button I think it is super easy to use!
