But it only take a few min to get hot on high and unless your battery is old the time needed to heat them up should not bother a good battery and remember the lights are on too, but there again a good battery will withstand this kind of use for for 5 min easy and once they are hot and you have started the removal process you can turn them off, that is what I did when I did mine.

In hindsight... if you have a Battery Tender... I guess it wouldn't matter.

Well it appears mine will not turn on while the bike isn't runnin. When I turn the key to in the grip light just flashes until I start it.

I am installing these while waiting on hurricane Nate to show up. I have it nice and cool in my shop and would rather not open the door to run it and let out all the cool air. I wonder if I can heat it enough with the wife's hair blow dryer?

I'm surprised that this was missed by the others. The grips definitely will not turn on without the bike running. The controller is watching the battery voltage and waits until the alternator is charging.

You think the hair dryer will work?

Edit: Hair dryer works fine!!!

I got them installed and I can tell they are gonna be a major improvement. Can't ride right now because we are in the middle of hurricane Nate but that's ok. I haven't even had a chance to test out the heated grips to see if they still work. I think they will! The tool they supply is nice and easy. It's time consuming getting the one grip off but if it works it's worth it.

I was actually installing a set of Kuryakan ISO grips and my new left grip broke in two places. I was using a zip tie to like the instructions said to bring them together and SNAP!! Now I have to call wingstuff to see what they say. Just my luck!!!!
