Heated Grips

[katflap]

Just fitted some OXFORD HotGrips (Of691 Touring).

Bieng the summer you can sometimes get a good discount.

Ive used a different model of the Oxford hot grips before and thought them to be quite good as I don't really like wearing mega thick gloves in winter.



Fitting
--------
The throttle side grip fits quite easily with just a little trimming required of the throttle tube.

The clutch side grip is a very tight fit. I only just managed to do this it actually gave me blisters twisting it on.
(I didn't bother using the glue for this grip , there was no way it was going to come off)

The bare end of the handle bar has a Knurled section, this worked like a cheese grater, grinding off a small amount of plastic from the inner of the grip as I twisted it on.

I'm sure a sensible person would file the inner of the grip for an easier fit.

I connected up via a relay because i didn't read the instructions, apparently a relay isn't required.

I'm sure a sensible person would read the instructions prior to fitting.

Switch features
• Now has 5 heat settings:- 30%, 40%, 50%, 75% and 100%
• Battery saving mode (BSM)
– This amazing new feature recognizes if either the battery voltage falls too low, or it’s high enough but suspiciously
quiet (ie. the engine has stopped)
– When in this state, the BSM LED flashes, the power LED still lights as normal, and the button still works - but the
grips don’t actually get powered.
– As soon as the battery voltage recovers and/or there’s a bit of noise on the power supply, the ‘battery saving’ LED
goes out and the grips work as normal
– The controller goes into BSM after 5 seconds of the voltage being less than 11.5V, or after 2 minutes of not
detecting any noise on the 12V power lead. Once in this mode, it will wait a further 5 minutes or thereabouts before
switching off completely.
– If the rider does not want or like this feature, the BSM can be disabled by switching the controller on and then
pressing and holding both buttons together for 5 seconds.
– During this time, the BSM LED will indicate whether the BSM feature is currently enabled (LED on) or disabled
(LED off).
– After 5 seconds the state of the LED will change, and the user can let go of the buttons.
– The controller remembers this state permanently, or until the user switches it back by repeating the above procedure.
