SVincent Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Hi all, I'm fitting some heed crash bars to my 2023 tracer 9. Will want to upgrade to oem hetated grips at some point. Do I need to remove all the panels to do this? And can I prior to fitting the crash bars make the connector accessible so I can reach them and maybe install the heated grips without taking the crashbars off and the panels?

Ride365 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 The 23 Tracer doesn't come with OEM grip heaters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVincent Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 The gt does, the non gt doesn't. Or at least, that's the case where I live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVincent Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Anybody? They will arrive on Monday.... Can I prepare for the heated grips or will I need to remove the crashbars when that time has come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm not familiar with all crashbars so I don't know what is possible, on my VFR the crashbars never need to be removed to get the plastics off) The connectors should be behind the right side shroud. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks betoney, but from what I gather the big plastic side panel can only be removed when the crashbars are removed. See picture of the heed bars below.

They plug into connectors inside a rubber boot. Follow the lines on the sketch. Thanks piotrek, but if this is from a 2019 manual it might not apply to my 2023 model (but not sure of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you locate any external fasteners on these panels? It would suck indeed to have to remove the crash bars to be able to remove the plastics.

OldBikers Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 You should be able to pop the panel off. There is one 4mm screw by the headlights and three push rivets near the bottom of the panel. Once those are removed you grip the top of the panel and pull toward you (it's held in by a rubber grommet) then once free from the grommet lift it up (there is a hook near the bottom). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See picture of the heed bars below. I would check how close the panels are to the crash bar, you might be able to un fasten the panel and then slide it out from behind the crash bar. Considering how many times I have removed the panels for wiring in add-ons or performing maintenance, as @piotrek mentioned it would indeed suck if you had to remove the crash bars every time the plastics come off. I don't have upper crash bars on my FJ, only lower engine protection. On my VFR I have SW Motech crash bars and on first glance it looks like the panels cant be removed but they pop out slightly and then slide rearward just clearing the crash bar. The panels on your Gen III Tracer might be similar. Good Luck. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVincent Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Just to update. With the heed crashbars (or other upper part ones?) you need to remove oor loosen them in order to remove the front side panels. As they mount on the engine mountinbolts you need to remove or loosen them and remove the panel. And put them back or at least the bolts before you do the same on the other side. Did need to look very closely for the heated grips connectors but I'm glad I had the video in earlier post to guide me. Both plugs were taped to a loom. (but 2 different ones) one is grey and buried deep, the other is black and because they are taped with black tape can be harder to spot. After that the grip install was easy easy and is working great (for now while still not very cold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsTracerTime Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 So the OEM part number (2PP829A00100) should be plug and play on the non-GT models right? The ECU will detect it, similar to the quickshifter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVincent Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Mine were: SKU: B5U-829A0-10-00 But this is an EU part... So not sure if this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
