Aftermarket handwarmers

[WFO or go home]

Anybody use a set of 3 wire aftermarket grip heaters on the 2 wire yamaha system?

I think you should be able to tie the two heating wires together and it will work fine.

Any thoughts?

TIA

I used the RSI hand warmers. The high output ones. They are a three wire system too. No problems, much much cheaper then stock and a little warmer too.

That is what I ordered.

I don't mind paying a little more for factory parts but the yamaha grips are STUPID expensive.

There is a better way to go. There is a guy on another forum that is making a kit that plugs into the stock harness and works awesome. I can assure you that it works and is plug and play.

Pm me or email me and I will send back the link. I don't know how the admins would feel about posting from a different forum here. Since I am new to this one, I do not want to make any waves.

But the short of it is, this kit works, simple to install. Uses less than 1 watt of power and you have hot grips at idle. I am speaking from experience. It took me about 45 minutes to hook up and put the hood back on. I have used them at -20F and had warm hands. We were running a long trip so I used gauntlets just to keep the wind off, but my hands were comfy warm.

Thanks.

If the grips I have don't work out I will let you know.

I went this way also and would recommend it to everyone with cold hands. It truly is a plug and play piece.

If it takes 45 minutes it must be a little more involved than plug and play.

I used CR racings. they are a 2 wire also

i think 45 minutes would be at a very leisurely pace :beer ;

Forgot to multiply by the beer factor.

Handwarmer update

here is the link. The 45 minutes included pulling and installing both side panels. lmao And opening the box and reading the instructions. Then emailing the seller to how well they work. I had to go kick start the IP. lol
