Replacing heated grip - Motorcycles

If heated grips have stopped working it is far easier and usually cheaper to completely replace everything than it is to buy a replacement part from the original manufacturer.
A friends grips stopped working and was quoted £60 ($100) from Honda for the switch alone. We removed everything and replaced with a good replacement (Dr Bike) for £30 ($50) with the added advantage of new soft grips. Not a difficult job at all and all at half the price. New sets come with full instructions unlike replacement parts that are aimed for mechanics who know what they should be doing.

No--but.... Heated grips will only put an added load on a battery, and that won't cause boiling of a battery. What WILL cause a battery to boil is overcharging or charging at too fast a rate. Now, then--when you add heated grips to the bike and you make a mistake somewhere in the wiring, you can affect the charging rate, and it's possible that a voltage regulator/charging system sees more current being drawn than it's used to and it's trying to replace that current as well as charge the battery, and it's feeding a higher voltage/current to the battery than was intended by the designers. You can check this out--put a voltmeter on the battery terminals, run the engine, and turn on your heated grips. A normal charging voltage for a vented lead acid battery should be about 13.8 to 14.4 volts; yours may go a little higher. If you're seeing a lot higher than 14.4 volts, you either have a defective voltage regulator or perhaps such a bad battery that it's screwing up your charging circuit.

Ok you should have a connector comin from both grips, with a white aire and a black wire. If your not blowing the fuse, with the grips connected, dont check Ampres, check voltage. Activate the grips, and you should have voltage at the connectors, if you do and the grips are not heating, than the grips are bad. if you activate the grips and there is no voltage than you need to start checking connections between that connector and the next and the next.

you will need to cut the old ones off first with a very sharp knife
the new grips just push on but there very very tight heating them up in boiling water may help them go on but be fast fitting them on

u can take the current ones off by simply heating them to warm the cement then pull...if that doesnt work u could use a razor blade but bake sure that u dont cut anything. you could put the wire around the grip if u want its all up to u.
