![]() ![]() ![]() Just connect the grips to the controller and a power source, any 12v battery will do, a handy one is sitting under the front seat. ![]() Once you have both grips on, its time for a power-on test (make sure the grips actually work) I prefer the wire pointing nearly straight down. The glue sets quickly, think about where you want the grips to be. Make sure you are happy with the heated grip power wire location as once the glue sets, you will not be able to adjust the angle. Installing the new grips is much easier than removing the old, just wet the bar using grip glue (the glue should come with the grips, also wear latex/nitrile gloves as the glue sticks to skin very well) and insert the grip to the desired position) It may take a few tries, but it will come off. The grip should move part of the way off quite easily, if it becomes stuck, rotate the welding rod until it travels a full rotation around the bar again, then try to get the grip off again. Once you have one full revolution around the bar (leaving the rod in), try to remove the grip by pulling on the thick end (end closest to the switch gear) Next, Rotate the rod (spin the rod using the 90 degree bend you put in it) and the rod will travel all the way around the handlebar, lifting the grip from the bar (you will have to apply quite a few rotations on the rod before it makes it all the way around the handle bar) A thin welding rod does the trick very well.īend the rod 90 degrees, and insert it under (the warmed up) rubber grip, slowly push it all the way through (rod must be in the entire length of the rubber grip). Then you will need a fairly stiff and thin metal rod. You will need a bit of heat (hair dryer, or heat gun set to low) will do. Remove any bar protectors you have, and the bar-end weights. To remove the oem grips, you can cut them off, but its quite easy to get the OEM grips off with out damaging them and saving them for later. In this example I'm installing a set of 130mm Koso Apollo heated grips. This is just a quick tip to help you get a general idea of doing this install yourself. ![]()
