All those heated grips that did not work well on the 14 model year GS


They put them on the XR

On my recent Jolly up to the NC 500 i swapped bikes for half an hour with a mate who wanted to try the XR

His 65 plate GSA grips even with Grip puppies on were bloody hot even on the low setting.

I asked hime what he thought of the XR grips and he said he didn't know as they were not on were they.

They were on full !!
 
got 16 year gs grips on my XR,they work better but the software needs modding as well,
the cpu turns them down after a while,needs a software mod,someone over on the XR forum says one is coming.
They did it on the 14 gsa but the grips were still crap.A mate has had his 14 GS updated with the software mod and had 16year grips fitted and they are hot
 
It's intentional, as the battery won't handle the higher power heated grips, according to BMW.

The grips from the 14 GS are long gone, BMW aren't like KTM with boxes of parts lying around all over the factory!:aidan

If you want warm pinkies, buy a GS!:D
 
"The grips from the 14 GS are long gone,"
must be a coincedence that they are the same part number then and the new grips from 15 on are different
