Premium Member jetfixer Posted December 13, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 13, 2015 Try eBay for the rear rack. Several on there last month. Thanks, I did eventually get it but it took quite few months. Bill 2015 Heeled by the hands of Nel's @ 2WheelDynoworks K-Tech forks and shock lots of other expensive unimportant stuff.

b12ty Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Sorry you guys are having trouble getting your grips. All I can say is they are worth the wait. 40 degrees F in the mountains today, setting 5/10 and no freezing hands. I cant believe Yamaha hasn't caught up by now. They've had a year.

Ty Aren't they the same grips as on the S10 and FJR? From what I hear, they have a long history of supply issues with nearly all their accessories. Doesn't matter if there's a new bike that takes them or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 As Yamaha uses parts bin design(fact not a complaint) you would think they are the same grips as on other bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member keithu Posted December 15, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 15, 2015 Non-Yamaha grips will be here in a couple days and will do the job just as well. And, they don't have the temp imbalance problem a number of folks have complained about with factory grips... Are you sure about that? The "heat imbalance issue" is endemic to most heated grips by virtue of the fact that the throttle tube always provides additional insulation on the right side. I've encountered the "heat imbalance issue" on every set of heated grips I've ever tried, including both aftermarket and BMW factory grips.

Premium Member wessie Posted December 15, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 15, 2015 I see Louis.de has a stock of the lovely old school Daytona heated grips with the analogue controller. These are fantastic and were always top of the reviews in the UK. https://www.louis.de/en/artikel/daytona-heated-grip-set-for-metric-handlebar/10032048 40 euros Not sure if they are new stock or a batch of the original ones found in the back of a warehouse. I bought a set in 2011 (with Hein Gericke branding) which had Made in Japan 1995 on them. Fitted them to my Super Tenere. Excellent product, although I went with the flash OE set on the Tracer as my dealer offered a discount. This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

docsimple Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 nice wessie! They look much like my el cheapo Bikemaster ones. For some reason I would take the bike apart but I was scared of switching grips Having done it a few times Im happy to get cheap. If I dont like em, time for the trash bin. But I love em, dont know why I rode 10 years without doing this upgrade. 2015 Red FJ 09 2013 WR250R - little boy blue - sold 2012 DL650 V Strom - sold 2007 FZ6 - sold 1986 FJ600 - sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Are the grips becoming available or is Yamaha holding out? I sent an email to my Dealer, Mukwonago Yamaha in WI, who is GREAT to deal with, reminding him that it is riding season here in FL and I really want my FJ-09 with the heat grips down here SOON. I told him my poor Super Tenere is getting whipped like a rented mule trying to run with the fast company I keep down here and if I I couldn't get the FJ with the grips here SOON to put it on consignment and I would buy something down here. He called Yamaha and bitched and they promised him the grips would be in his shop by Monday. As exciting as that is to hear it kind of makes me wonder what is going on?

empire00 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I finally received mine today after waiting since early July. 2 calls to Yamaha corporate and my dealer complaining to his Yamaha parts rep finally got the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericm Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I got a set on ebay from a dealer back east. I haven't been able to install them however as the 12mm hex socket I ordered was stolen from its' packaging before delivery. Once I get my grips installed I'll see if I can cancel my order at the dealer. If not, I'll sell them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member smiley Posted December 18, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 18, 2015 My grips have shipped with a scheduled delivery of Monday the 21st. Only been on order since Nov 24th. Not to bad. My Top Case has been shipped as well. It's been about a month on that too. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auraaura Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 WooHoo! After only 4 months of waiting my heated grips finally arrived, installed them today. Thankfully it's been a very mild winter so far in the deep south (USA). Thanks to Ulewz for the great install guide. I don't think I would have figured out the right side cable routing without it, the Yamaha instructions are a bit lacking. Will try them out tomorrow. High supposed to be 60, so they should feel good in the morning. Hopefully no more numb fingers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
