So, I went for a ride two days ago and had the seat heater and hand warmers both turned on. I had a great ride, came back and shut bike down without turning off the seat or hand warmers.
I went for a ride today and, when I started the bike, neither the hand warmers nor the seat heater were turned on, so I had to turn them on again. This is what I expected - I thought that these settings were reset everytime the bike was shut down. However, after riding for about 20 minutes, I shut the bike off for a few minutes while I got off and swapped my gloves with others in the trunk. When I restarted it, the hand warmers and seat heater were still set as I had had them before shutting the bike down.
So, does the bike "remember" settings like these for some brief period of time, but forget/reset them after some longer period of time?
