    98 R1100r heated grips only work on low

    Hello, My OEM heated grips are only working on low. I am getting around 6 ohms on both pairs of brown/black wires under the tank. I assume since the low and high circuits use the same wiring, the fault must be the switch...? Also, I have heard the switch is serviceable, at least can be taken...

    OEM Grips, Heated

    I plan to replace the factory heated grips with aftermarket ones. The main reason is so I can install bar end weights, which are needed to anchor the, "Knuckle Warmers" which are similar to Hippo Hands. Though the air is minimal blowing on the hands, the Knuckle Warmers make a significant...

    2000 R110R factory heated grips: half-way there?

    Hello everyone, while performing annual maintenance and replacing the bar-ends on my 2000 R1100R (it had chromed ones that were peeling so picked up a pair of used standard black ones from Beemer Boneyard) I made what I think is an interesting discovery. The grips are wired so I'm assuming...

    heated grips and seat stopped working - good battery and voltage

    2009 K1300GT They both stopped the last day (and coldest right!?) of a 9 day trip after riding for 90 minutes at 5k rpm. I was using the heated grips at #2 position and seat at #1. I was using a heated vest as connected directly to the battery (not the accessory plug). They both worked fine...

    R100GS Heated Grips

    How hot are these things supposed to get?? I can put them on high for a while and they do get hot. To my bare hands they feel very warm but not uncomfortably hot like modern heated grips that I have. They also don't penetrate heavy gloves too great. Any observations from experience will...

    98 R1100R heated grip switch

    Hello, My heated grips work on low and on high, but they do not get very hot. I have checked the fuse connection, the white connection under the tank, and the alternator puts out 13.93V at 2000 rpm. I would like to check the connection on the switch. It was straightforward to remove the chrome...

    Throttle lock for r1200r, 07 with heated grips?

    Need your help! What is the best throttle lock that will not interfere with my heated grips? I have used the locks on other brands over the years and understand the danger. These are only used on long highway trips to give my right hand a break. Thanks Charlie

    Routing wires for heated grips on 2004 R850R - help needed

    Hi, First time poster and New member so be gentle! :) I have a 2004 R850R that came without heated grips. As luck would have it I found a useable right hand side combination switch and two functioning heated grips on Ebay which I purchased. Replacing the combination switch would be rather...
