RSI grips and elements worked excellent for me all last year, I have a new bar set up this year and I am staying with the RSI grips and elements again this year, all hooked up to the factory switch. less then $100 mod and 1hr of your time.

You can adjust the heat with stock rocker button?
Sounds great!
I have filled the handlebar with foam, but if it's not enough i go with RSI (if stock adjuster works).
Stock Yamaha 2010 heating element's is >$270 / side, here in Sweden! :mad:

Yeah T-bird. The RSI's have 2 elements. You wire them both together, then into the stock wiring harness. '06 "pre-update" Apex bars heaters work excellent too, but hard to find...

I read about the box you're talking about and I thought it was kind of funny because my buddy screwed up his wiring for his hot grips and when he fixed it he wired to the headlight circuit by accident. I kid you not, his hands were severly blistered from the grips getting so hot. It was turning the grips to almost gel after a short time of riding. This box that someone is selling sounds like it's doing the same thing with just giving you a way to turn down the full voltage of the headlight circuit.

Our Hi Power heaters fix the Nytro problem. PM me for a 10% Snowest discount coupon. We reccomend our heaters, 7" grips, and our new grip glue for the best results.

Yes, the factory controls still work the same, 3-4 bars and you will be very warm! I wire the red and blue wires together and hook them to one lead from the stock elements and the remaining white wire to the other stock lead, no need to know what wire is what because the grips are powered of AC power. Ran them for 2500 miles last year and 0 issues. Great mod.

DC power.... actually it is a variable time period square wave.... but it goes for 0 to a voltage (around 12 volts), not negative to positive voltage like you would have with AC power.

But regardless, it doesn't matter because it is a passive device, and it has no ground of it's own, therefore, its functionality does not depend upon the polarity of the connections..

Gotcha, makes sence! Learn something new everyday!

used the rsi heaters and they work great i was a little worried about messing something up but that was two easy. the dealer wanted 230 for the fancy new yamaheaters. so this was an easy and cost effective fix for the prob. Give it a try
