If all else fails, switch positions with your BSR and then use your imagination as to how to warm up your hands.

Just received a call from my service manager that my 08 SE Ultra is ready to pick up after the head replacement.  It was also in for heated grip replacement.  He told me the company gave him a song and dance about you've got to keep both hands on the grips for at least 10 minutes in order for them to work properly, something to do with resistance?   I told him that I had ridden for 4 months and didn't see what an additional 10 minutes would prove.  To the SM's credit he went ahead and replaced the left one anyhow.  Has anyone ever heard such a thing.  Sounds to me as though the company is doing their usual song and dance rather than addressing the real problem.  As a side note the dealership does everything possible to talk buyers out of heated grips and to buy heated gloves instead.  Is there a way to make an issue out of this with the company as has been done with the heads?  I know it's small change in the grand scheme of things, but perhaps it would force them to do something about it.

Regards to all!

That has got to be the best ever...using the human body as a resistor in order for heated grips to work properly...did they tell you to stick your tongue out and touch the gas cap at the same time?

I think I'll go downstairs and hold on to my natural gas line so maybe the furnace will get hotter...

My grips can't make up their mind(s).  Sometimes they work really well.  Others they just barely get warm.  No biggie.  Ride 'em til they break and replace with Heat Demons.
