tommo Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I'm amazed some people have been waiting so long. in the UK, I ordered some from a local accessory shop, and they had them within 2 weeks. Had to come from abroad (europe I think) but I can't believe Yamaha dealers cant seem to get them anywhere?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 1moreroad Posted September 30, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted September 30, 2015 Anyone else having trouble with heated grips being on backorder?Ordered mine around Sept 1. Initially the dealership said there were 6 in the queue and I should have them in a week. A week goes by and no call. Call them back. Then they said December but they'll try to do better. Now they're saying November 18. Who at Yamaha would think that maybe heated grips would get more popular before the winter? I realize it never really gets cold in Cypress (I used to live close to Yamaha USA corporate), but come on! Supposedly some dealers do have them in stock and Mother Yamaha could ask them to ship them to a dealer in need. November 18 is probably ok for me. I'll use that time to pull my ECU and mail it off. Then at least I won't miss riding while I'm busy with family at Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtface250 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 OK at least I have some options now I can either go to Canada or start shopping on eBay! I think I'll try ebay for now and if all else fails I'll go to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximbo Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 bought the bike in August, backorder, was promised grips in September, still waiting... (Berkeley, CA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 1moreroad Posted December 5, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 5, 2015 Ordered grips September 1. Initially told 1 - 3 weeks. Then told November 18. Then told January 2. Called Yamaha. They said as of ~ November 11 there were exactly 0 unaccounted for grip sets. They were still filling 200+ orders dating back to July. They think they can have a set to my dealer by December 8 (next week). They said that they're supplier seriously overpromised and is underdelivering. FWIW they said they are sending every grip set from the factory to buyers rather than shipping them in blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool hot.!!Let me correct that for you: Your not kidding, I had Medium set to 6 and had to back it to Low (2) a couple of times in 51 degree (F) weather. Better to have too much than not enough! LOL! I don't think I'll de using High (10) any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member keithu Posted December 6, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 6, 2015 I've been trying not to brag, but yes the Yamaha grips can get crazy hot and the control setup is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericm Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I got a set the other day on Ebay. From a dealer, still sealed. I'll have to cancel the order I placed at the local shop. Keep looking, they do turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
