draco_1967 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Since your grip heaters only have 2 wires per grip, it won't really matter which wire you hook them to. Just connect one wire from each grip to each plug, and make sure they are connected to the wire on the customled connector that matches up with the wire on the bike-side connector. The grip elements you have don't have a + or - side, they are just a simple circuit that has resistance (the heater element) in the middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostondan Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 OK, thank you all for your help. This forum has been amazing and invaluable. My grip heaters work. Things I have learned: For the Kimpex/Tusk grips, two wires, direction doesn't matter. Custom LED is a great source with good customer service for the Yamaha connectors. Kimpex is 30 watts - Heat demons are 40 watts which is likely why they are not heating as much as the heat demons I did not do a heat shrink on the clutch side - very important if using Tusk/Kimpex heated griip since 30w will be a noticeable difference. If I could source the OEM in the US I would have gone that way and not saved $80 - my hands are worth it. I live in Boston and it gets very cold on the ride to work at 7am 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
