Cold in the UK isn't it ?

Question, does anyone know if the heated grips draw power, when switched on, with ignition on, if the engine is not running ?

I had an off yesterday, in some bushes whilst greenlaning and when bike was righted, it wouldn't start. The little tumble had knocked the grips switch to on.

Kill switch was on, engine maybe flooded, but I only had three of four short presses of starter before battery gave up

Could the grips, being on, have drained the battery ? :D
 
Should not be the problem. Heated grip will switch off automatically if it senses the battery charge is low as per riders manual
