Best Grip Heaters

[bigbull]

A while back we were all discussing some pros and cons of a couple brands and I learned some good bar insulating tricks there but I never saw any definitive answers as to what were the warmest and most reliable? I have a 500XCW so I have some stock stator room to play with. What is your suggestion(s)? Thanks!

AME worked great for me.

Has anybody tried Moose offroad grip heaters? They work good on a quad when plowing snow but you have a battery, YZ no battery

I have the Heat Demon one's. They make them for Moose. On a KTM 525 EXC.
Wire them in to the hot DC lead from the regulator.

I went with heated gloves last year and don't care whether the grips are even turned on any more. One of the best decisions I ever made.

How many watts of stator power do you need to run handwarmers?

How many watts of stator power do you need to run handwarmers?

I would think 30 watts

We will be releasing a kit this season that is separate of the bikes electrical system. Stay tuned..

 

[wwillf01]

What advantage does this have? Having it separate?

 

[RSI]

A lot of the MX bikes don't have enough electrical to run good grip heaters.

So yours would have a separate battery? I am in this situation currently

The only problem i have with battery powered lights and grips are the batteries themselves. They sit for any length of time they just seem to wear out prematurely and you end up having to buy more batteries which just cost cost cost. Babysitting them in the off season kinda blows. Just some food for thought. Really depends on the battery

Ours will have rechargeable batteries that you remove and charge at night. They go into a number plate bag. Good for a day of normal riding. They have plug and play connectors too.

Prefect I am looking for something that will last 6 hours and will not be affected by cold weather
