Grip warmers

[bryceraisanen]

Last season my warmers got finicky on me. My memory is a little iffy but it might have been soon after I corked my bars (which I've done many times before successfully). Took the plugs apart under the hood and scratched/cleaned them as best I could. Seemed to help a little but not much.

So I cut the factory plugs and replaced with a quality weather pack connector at end of last season. Yesterday was my first day out, that doesn't really seem to have helped..

For some reason it seems like I only get decent heat if crusing trail at a steady pace between 5-6000 rpm.

Should I replace the warmers themselves or look elsewhere?

Anyone else struggle with the warmers or have recommendations? Only way I get decent heat is steady crusing at 5-6rpm.

Mine get really hot at idle. (But my sled idles very strong)

Not sure if silber has something in the turbo tune for higher idle?

Maybe your load shedding relay?

I broke my hi/lo switch and replaced it with a switch off a heat gun. Of course the blades where not aligned so i had to make 2" male/female adapters wires. Now the grips don't get warm as fast as my 21. I assume there is too much resistance in the switch so maybe you have a bad connection doing similar.

have you checked the connectors on the switches i have seen them come loose and cause problems with warmers many times

Which one is the load shedding one, and how can I test it?

I did look at the switch previously, and the connections seemed tight.

What would the steps be to test the switch? Just checking for continuity on hi and low?

Also, is there a way to test how much electricity is being delivered?

Just swap the two by the left top shock mount.

Update. I replaced the two relays (inside top left shock mount) and now the warmers work a lot better including the thumb warmer. I'm going to do a little more digging though, as they still take a bit of steady cruising to get really hot.
