FITTING KTM 1290 Heated Grips

[@gutimvic]

People like you make youtube awesome and worth our time because we all know how many hours we spend watching useless videos! Thank you

[@biker_dan]

Thanks mate, that's nice of you to say that

[@gastonkra]

Hello, I'm from Argentina, I have a 1290 sas 2018, i want to thank you for video, it's help me a lot for to connect the heated Grips. Thank you very much 🤩

[@simon1290r]

Recently changed my 2018 SAS for a 2024 SAR. Had to buy new heated grips that I will install myself. Thanks for the helpful video.

[@biker_dan]

I'm glad it helped mate, Thanks for the comments, Much appreciated.

[@jmm9586]

Very detailed instruction, easy to follow, got my new heated grips working quickly using the favourites button. Thank you Biker Dan

[@biker_dan]

Glad it helped mate

[@k0usek]

Thanks, your video helped me a lot. Goog job Dan.

[@biker_dan]

Glad it helped!

[@tafftastic]

Thanks, Dan. Much appreciated. Saved me hours of time researching on the web and falling into rabbit holes. From a fellow Celt down under.

[@biker_dan]

Always a pleasure mate,,

[@dimanenator]

Thanks! Very useful video!

[@RoadTripRound2773]

Excellent!! KTM wanted $300 to install and said they have to remove the headlight!! Thank you so much!! So easy...

[@biker_dan]

My pleasure,,, Most jobs can be done yourself, all it takes is a guiding hand, Why pay hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars when you can do most of it yourself,,,

[@deanherrin8922]

Thanks for the very clear instructions on installing the heated grips. Other videos said the headlight needed to be removed and I’ve dreaded doing it until I saw your video. Found the plug and hooked mine up! Huge thank you!

[@biker_dan]

Thanks for your kind words,, yes often you find people do thigs by the book which takes a long time or even may deem difficult,, but there is always an easy way,,, Glad it helped mate

[@redfirebladej]

Grips installed. No problems at all. Thank you sir.

[@johnnyjohnson852]

Thanks Dan. Couldn't find the capped connector in the front frame area. You saved me lot of time pulling things apart. Can't see how removing the gas tank would have made the job that much easier

[@soundbeings1]

Very informative mate, thanks ! The 1290 SAS is the next bike - and that set up looks fairly straightforward - great that KTM have it all prepped and ready to go. Enjoy the riding! Cheers, Phil Nova Scotia 🇨🇦

[@gabrieldoli]

Fantastic guides, thank you so much for making these!!

[@biker_dan]

You are welcome... Thanks

[@Ediachr]

Good job thanks

[@biker_dan]

Welcome 😊

[@grzegorzbiegun1976]

Very helpful video, thanks.

[@Bob-Maplethorpe]

Will be doing this this weekend! Thanks.

[@loukennedy9058]

Great video Dan, cheers mate you made it look easy , ‘nae bother ‘ 👍

[@biker_dan]

Thanks mate, much appreciated.

[@ianwilliams4832]

Great video, convinced me to fit my own. Cheers

[@biker_dan]

Glad to hear it,, think the grips from KTM cost around $300 but if you want them to fit them you will pay anywhere between $200 to $300 for the fitting,,, so it saves a lot of money,,, Thanks for your comments mate,, have a good one,,

[@deedeldeedle]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@georgesamuel5609]

Good video Dan 👍

[@maxtempesta9953]

Cool Video! Come to see it how I drive it in its motherland

[@wondaboy12345]

Another great vid...Dan.

[@krantivira70]

man where did you get that bar for quad lock mount? I needed it 😅😅😅Thanks

[@jage6126]

Thanks for the instructions. Howcome you had everything "unlocked"? Normally the dealer must unlock the functions. But what kind of language do you speak?

[@kareemebanks3785]

He explained it quite well. He said if your bike has the latest software, all the features should be unlocked, since it's plug and play!!!!!!

[@biker_dan]

Thanks,,, must be my accent i speak lol

[@fredrikbengtsson4050]

Thanks for the video. As a warning, my grips did not work right away. Nowhere to be found in the menues. 2020 SAS - European model if that makes any difference. Perhaps I don’t have the latest software? Bike was bought brand new in August 2020.

[@biker_dan]

Yes mine is the European version also, some have had to get the software update but KTM should do that free of charge.

[@fredrikbengtsson4050]

@@biker_dan Just came back from my dealer. Can confirm the software needs to be turned on in some cases. My bike had the heated seat on when it was delivered, but I had no heated seat. The dealer simply hooked it up and set all the accessories to “installed” and now it works. Thank you for the videos! Enjoying watching them trying to understand your fabulous English, challenging for a Swede like me 😃

[@RicianoMitrasing-np6ex]

Thanks men, because I installed the heated grips and I can’t see them. But now I know I have to go to the KTM DEALER.

[@gregyoung6435]

Dan - was the blanked-off plug really just sitting there looking at you? I tried to fit mine today, and there's absolutely no sign ANYWHERE of the required plug........

[@biker_dan]

It was hiding in amounts those wires, easily found though

[@jonduffy8104]

Thanks for the video installed mine followed your film,I think I need the dealer to activate mine though

[@biker_dan]

It should activate itself,, there should be a selection to turn them on,, then a diferent selection for settings etc,,, If it doesnt show up then pop into dealer, they should do it for you easiy enough

[@ericmac564]

You pinched the two white wires going to the grip in the housing. There’s a small channel that those white wires need to be routed through or they get pinched.

[@madesuardasuarda]

Thank you for the info.. Subscribed..

[@davey306]

Good work! Thanx!

[@davidholmes3449]

Hi where did u buy ur grips and what make are they many thanks

[@biker_dan]

At KTM store, proper KTM grips

[@Bob-Maplethorpe]

Just installed my grips but they do not show up on my screen. Do you have to pay extra to have this option added to the software?

[@AWABALLO]

Nice video! Where is this English accent from?

[@biker_dan]

Scotland

[@cpuuk]

So, are they heated grips any good?

[@biker_dan]

They are great.

[@wavesniper]

I don't find mine to be super warm ? Are they supposed to be very warm ? They show on on my tft - but don't notice heat ? Although my hands also haven't gotten cold per say. Maybe the dealer needs to do something

[@joseluist1305]

Isn’t necessary to get the bike to the dealer so they unlock the software and activate the heated grips?

[@biker_dan]

Once you install them you just go to settings to activate them... No need to go to dealer.

[@professorchickenstrips5688]

Thanks for the video Dan! I’m trying this myself and am having some trouble finding the wire plug to insert the grips into the bike. Any advice on how to find this? The manual online says that the gas tank needs to be removed and others are saying the headlight. You did this without removing either, right? Thanks again for the video!

[@biker_dan]

As you sit on the bike, go to the right hand side and the plug is just inside the frame. You can easily pull it out once you see it.

[@a-d-zmotorcycles1955]

Where did you get the heated grips please?

[@MrBeracah]

Hi Dan how much are the Ktm heated grips to buy please

[@biker_dan]

I think they were about just under $300 AUD

[@mdragon99]

Just ordered grips for my bike. I thought gluing and cutting was required. Screwing things I can handle..

[@nickgp]

Thanks for the video! One thing to note is that you did not install the throttle wires correctly. That small tab must be inserted into a slot inside the housing. You can see that in this image. imgur.com/gallery/OSZatey Hope this helps anybody doing the install.

[@biker_dan]

Thanks for that,, I will have to have a little look at mine again,,, Cheers

[@mar-b9e]

Thanks for the video i combined it with the manual to install mines, just a remark, at kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3fMgpWOjMeHfac 11:39 the installation is wrong, Catch B engages in driver C like in the manual.
