Fitting heated grips
Robbie replied to Robbie's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
Simplest way Dave is to use a relay. Its like two circuits in one unit, one goes from battery to grips and that copes with the heavy current. The other is like a trigger which is best powered by an ignition controlled circuit and only takes milliamps to operate. If you want any help let me know. Im retired so time doesnt really matter and Im not far away (spent many years teaching low voltage vehicle and plant machine electrics) and dont buy any relays and wiring as Ive got some. So do you think the way I have wired them up is acceptable ? (above post) You've got me worrying a bit now If its via the ignition it should be fine Robbie. The ignition system draws very little current and the headlights that come on as well will be via a relay so the current draw is only milliamps for that circuit Thanks. -

Yes and no I didn't go into details and check the draw on each circuit but I connected it to the ignition which has 15amp rating and as the grips draw less than 4 I rightly or wrongly thought that would be adequate as most of the power draw would be whilst starting the bike to which the grips wont be on. I'm no expert so please feel free if you think this is ok or not -
