lsjimmy Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Has anyone got a good way to wire in some heated grips for the Scottish that doesn't involve cutting into the loom, I used the headlamp feed last year but they didn't work properly they'd get warm but not hot, any info would be great and pictures would be even better.

dadof2 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I would look up the output of your ACG. It may be it does not have sufficient power to get the grips hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisa Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 You could buy a 12v Lithium battery. They weigh nothing and could be strapped to somewhere convenient (best of luck with finding that place though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazybond700 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) I think the power is the problem. I can imagine (all the people lalal ) they take like 50W or something, which is quite much for a small bike with little lights etc. There are also gloves, with a battery to put in a pocket or bag, however I dont think there are any mx/trial like gloves.

aussiechris Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'm pretty sure the alternator output is 160w. Without lights there should be plenty to spare. ECU and fuel pump should only need about 20w. Not sure about the fan but probably another 30w or so. If you're running the homologated headlight then that could be 35w plus tail light etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybond700 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I would not see another reason why the headlamp wiring would not work. Or the grips are just crappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
