Defective heated grips

[shortleg0521]

I have a defective set of heated grips, the dealer ordered new ones for me.
My question is I have installed Kury grips, should I remove them before
I go to have them fixed?

I'm not clear on what you're asking. It sounds like you already removed the stock heated grips and installed Kury grips and now, you want the dealer to install new heated grips. Is that right? And now you're wondering if you should remove the Kury grips so the dealer won't have to do that . BTW, for anyone thinking about removing stock heated grips...it's pretty easy to damage the heating elements and great care has to be given to that process. Twisting them to get them off is a definite no-no

The Kury grips install clam-shell style over the heated the grips. There's no removal of the stock grips, just the end weights. I believe he's just asking if he should remove the kury shells before taking to dealer. IMO I would, just so I could reinstall the Kury's myself. I know when I did them, it was a pain to get them how I liked them. So much so, I stripped the hex heads of several of those tiny screws...I gotta learn to not over-tighten....

Thanks, Elroy, for clearing that up. Makes sense now

YES.... Remove them......less for the dealer to complain about and stop them from looking for a cause !!!

I have tested them and found that the left grip has 0 ohms, so open should be 2ohms
I then tested for 12volts at the green/white wire and didnot get any.
Right side grip has 2 ohms so that one should be good.
All that being said should I tell them all I know or will I come off looking
like a smart ass
