    Heated Grips Wiring

    I recently got the Bike master heated grips with lcd for my RE 650, but the instructions are minimal to non existent. Has anyone had any experience wiring these to a bike? It gives two pieces of advice for the entire setup: "connect to 12V key on" for the red and "a good ground" for the ground.

    Transmission shifted unexpectedly

    Hey y'all. I'm a pretty new rider, but have been putting as many miles in as my schedule can afford. Lately I've been having issues, particularly at the 4th gear, at higher revs. I hit false neutral a few days ago while shifting and I figured it was a fluke as it hadn't occurred again. Today...
