KTM heated grips - how to control..?

[mike650gs]

Just installed the grips and the left grip stopped working halfway through the installation (no resistance - must be a broke connection inside) - these are more fragile than I imagined.

I see a couple of you have had problems with the right grip. If any of you have the working left grip sitting around i'd be happy to work something out.

These units retain the setting (one light, two lights, ...) between uses. So if all four are flashing when you turn it on, just press the button once to return to 1 light. Speaking of choosing a setting, I find the lights almost impossible to see in daylight which makes choosing a setting difficult.

I have the KTM heated grips on a 990 Dakar. I love them, fantastic, most of the time they just need to be on the first or second setting, I only tend to use the 3rd and 4th setting when the temp drops below freezing. I have used them down to -6ºC (20ºF) and have still been comfortable with a relatively light glove.

These are the duck nuts IMHO.

They seem to have :personality: or you might say a mind of their own..let me explain..when you turn them on, its as if they go to 4/4 heat..and then after a bit they settle to what you asked for 1/4,2/4 etc..when they do this they still only indicate what you have asked for but the heat, id swear they're on full heat. They're clearly controlled by a microprocessor ...so perhaps they decided to give a few minute, says 5, burst then settle to the desired setting.

So...to days, after my initial challenges, I am very happy. Haven't trail tested them yet, only sealed roads.

Same grips and same personality, I think they do give a burst of high heat initially then cool off to the desired setting. I also have them turn off on their own occasionally....otherwise they work great.
