there are no factory seat heaters on the R1200C. On the dresser R1200CL and CLC, there is, and that is controlled by a rocker switch on the handlebar. The passenger seat heater should have a rocker either on the side of the seat or under the right edge of the seat. off, low, and high.

To check or change the battery on the BMW R1200C, you must remove the gas tank. I would suggest that if you are going to check the battery or replace it you might as well change the air filter as it is under the tank also.
