Default Starting Bike With Heating Switches On

Hello,

Am I straining my starting system if my heating switches are on when I push the button?

No mate, but the simple answer is.....why do it? just turn them off, then it is not an issue.

Default no problem

Like the headlight, the grip heaters don't turn on until the
alternator is spinning.

You aren't huring anything. Been more than one warm afternoon after a cold morning commute where I've done the same thing.
