I have the touring version so heated grips came as standard, they didnt work from new, so waited until the first service to get them fixed, after the mechanic said "yes, nice n hot now" I took it for a ride and couldnt feel anything through my gloves so removed my gloves and felt the grips, left one was warm on top, cold underneath, right one was cold on top but luke warm underneath, so back to the dealers and they tell me that suzuki, Honda and Kawasaki all use the same ones and they are only heated half way through and my right one has been put on upside down, and needs a warranty claim for new grips, so I asked for the better Oxford ones, they said yes, free of charge, So I go back in January to have them fitted. At least I know Oxford ones get HOT.
Funnily enough I just put my Oxford grips on today. I noticed they don't get hot unless the bike is actually running. Never had heated grips before and these do get pretty hot. Today was about 42 degrees Fahrenheit and I had to dial them down to 75% after about 10 minutes.
Putting them on was kind of a pain. I had to modify the plastic throttle slider by sanding it down a lot and even got a chance to break out my previously useless oscillating multitool to help clear out some of the excess plastic. I didn't like having to basically destroy my OEM stuff to get it to fit but the grips are on and working great.
The included mounting bracket would not work as the mirrors blocked it from coming over the bars. How did they mount your control unit on your bike I wonder? Possible to show a picture?
Not sure about Kawasaki, but Honda do use the same grips, but they are available with 180 degree (half grip) and 360 degree (full grip) heating. I have the Honda full heated grips on my GSX-S and have no complaints at all.
Heated grips for me are way more convenient than heated gloves. Once the gritters are out on the roads my bike stays tucked up it it's garage until spring so I just need something to take the chill off my hands on cold spring and autum mornings. Heated grips and a decent pair of all season gloves sees me through the whole year in comfort
I brought a set of $7 heated pads that wrap around the bar under the oem grips off eBay and they work so well I put them on both my bikes, they have no temperature control but sit on a good temp, every now and then they get a bit warm so I just simply switch them off for a couple of minutes minutes , I mounted a switch on the top of the fairing dash wired from an ignition relay to the battery so I'll never run the battery flat, best $7 I ever spent and my mates who brought them also love them, mind you a cold day riding here is 15 degrees Celsius

Interesting. I got the Oxford Heaterz Premium Sport Heated Grips.
I went ahead and broke out my calipers and took some measurements.
On the bike my Oxfords have about a 33.3 mm outside diameter on both grips.
The OEM Suzuki grips have about a 32.7-33 mm outside diameter and this is measured with them off the handlebars, so I think when they are installed on the bars they should be even closer to the Oxfords.

Well suzuki oem are far to be good grips
like yamaha oem are ****
daytona are bit better (not the version with integrated switch)
honda with integrated switch are pretty the best (for price of 250-270....)
Dunno who say they are all the same... but is not like that
(suzuki ones seems old honda type btw )
My 360 degree Honda grips don't have the integrated controller, they have the same controller as the Suzuki OEM optional grips. Can't remember the part number, but I threw away most of the wiring they came with and hard wired them myself.
I made the mistake of thinking that suzuki grips would be better. They were useless , and Suzuki replaced them under warranty with oxford grips , which are very good
What are the chances of a Motorcycle rider getting the Corona Virus?
By the way, has any one in here got the virus already? I have not seen one person showing the symptoms.
Have you guys had or seen in others fever, cough, and difficulty breathing symptoms?
I heard that if you get sore throat...
Don't hate me guys, but it was time for a change I suppose. Although a charter GSXS owner, I have been drooling over Super Dukes for years, especially the GT version. I found a leftover 2016 fresh out of the crate for about 40% off MSRP. The deal was made and I am getting used to being in Club...
Well, we're in a statewide lockdown finally here in FL, I don't think a motorcycle ride is considered essential, though we all know it is. Definitely an emotional support device for me.
So I filled up their gas tanks, put in the gas stabilizer and rode each of the 3 bikes around 10 miles or so...
My riding buddy just bought a new Tuono and we swapped bikes on our last ride. We have Sena headsets, so we’re able to talk to one another as we ride. A little background, he rode my bike right after I got it and it was pretty much stock then, he had a 2016 BMW RR at that time. He wasn’t a fan...
Has anyone already did a TPS adjustment on a 2018 gsx-s?
Like almost everyone I have the snatchy throttle problem and tried to do a TPS adjustment but, when in service mode, I cannot see the dash near the C00.
Any ideias?
