Excellent video! Opinion: Having done that repair several times, on several bikes. I found It's faster, easier, and safer (on the heater coil matrix) to just use the soldering iron to burn away that plastic covering. Scraping with a knife risks causing other damages to the coil matrix, and takes forever. I have repaired hundreds of PC circuit board matrices the same way.

Hey, great video! After about 50.000km my left heating failed. I measured the electrical resistance of the grip heating, but it was >20MOhm. Then I ordered 2 new rubber grips and cut the old one off. It was difficult to find the failure, because you could not really see the cut in the copper wire. But in the end I could fix it by resoldering the cut and also the connection to the black/yellow cable had to be resoldered. Now it works fine again and saved me about 100 EUR!. Thanks!

That was enlightening, and educational. It looks like I may have a struggle repairing the grip on my F800GT. Personally I didn't like the robotic voice but then again I can't even order a beer in Dutch, so it has it uses.

Just fixed my heated grips on my f800gs. Didn't need to take the grips off the handlebars or disassemble anything. Just cut the old rubbers off, fix the broken tracks and slide new rubbers on.

A really great video. Helped me trace the circuit break on my My K1200s left grip which had failed. Thank you for sharing.

I gotta know what the Reggae song is that's playing in this video. And thank you, this helped me fix my snowmobile heated grips

[@thimoj7799]

did this on my 2008 f650gs twin. works like a charm again. ordered some replacement grips which ended up not fitting all the way over the ends on the grip, hope they wont leak in too much water in otherwise its just a matter of finding a better fitting pair!

Heeft top gewerkt op een F800GS dankjewel!

[@agustincrispino6689]

You make it looks so easy! Very nice video!

[@ozciva]

Thank you. I have just fixed my left one. It had cracks on almost every corner you have showed. The grip was also split so I fixed the cracks and changed the grip at the same time. I checked the right side but it did not have any cracks. So, just put on the new grip.

[@shaunwantenaar5144]

Wow - a serious production - loved the music - what should the resistance measure at - thinking of wrapping a resistance wire around the old one ??

[@mikaelbuzare]

Sir hat down, you made me save a lot of money! Thank you.👍👍

[@rons6331]

Interesting choice of music

[@shomara666]

Had the same problem, followed the instructions and they work great now, thanks!

Hello I have the same problem with the of heating grip in my1200GS2009, I checked it with polimeter and it’s ok, there is power in the circuit , but doesn’t work, if I will wash the bike and getting wet work also, do you have any idea what’s going on?

[@carlcarsboult255]

love the background music 🤗great video shame i got a triumph tiger which has whit wires made of hair 🤣😂😅

[@TheFrontLinesGamer]

Thanks a lot, I’m going to try to repair mines, best regards!

Thanks mr Hawkins!

LOL. Was thinking the same thing.

Great tutorial, thank you!!!

[@bertramstammler2894]

Great discription. Very helpfull. Thanks a lot!

[@Luc_Motor4youNL]

This video was a great help!!! Thx for sharing this vid!!

[@loveten100]

Great video! But I have a different issue. I have a 2013 GSW with the same red/yellow-black connector for the heated handgrip. But in replacing the failed multifunction switch with a new one, I find no tabs to remove the plug and nowhere to plug the connector back in on the new switch. Any thoughts on this?

[@rezendeaxel8895]

Thank you for this video. I have the same problem with the right handle. Do I have to do the same? 1200 gsa 2010

[@lukicdragan011]

Thank you ... Great video 😃

[@josemanuelramirez4098]

Thank you very much for sharing! I had the same problem with them, the right one, I repaired it but months later they both stopped working, could you please give me some guidance on the failure. Greetings

[@matthias7534]

I will try it on my F800ST, because my right grip is not working

[@80a7x]

How about if the heat level is there, but its too low...I have after market Koso heated grips, and I would like to see if it can be fixed before I throw it in the bin ...nice vid

[@volvogt21]

You should put a multimeter set to resistance on each grip to see if they are the same. Throttle grip is usually hotter as the handlebar on the left side acts as a heatsink

BMW R 1200 RTLC 2015 THANKS FOR YOUR TUTO !!! MERCI POUR TON TUTO !!! IT'S OK !!! ÇA FONCTIONNE !!! PIERRE .S FRANCE

[@mickemmett6828]

It may not be the same type of heated grip on your bike, I have a 1200 GS LC and it a single wire wound around the bar not like the one in this video.

[@marius2562]

Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo.

Perfekt Video...thx...it works👍👍

[@piccolino666]

great video. Thanks.

[@hossp2365]

Thanks heaps mate!

[@Rodzejro]

why did you damage the rubber on the handle? after all, it pulls down in 10 seconds, just inject WD-40 under the rubber and you can easily remove the rubber. This way you threw a few dollars down the drain.

[@numewsm]

It's bonded on at both ends to prevent water ingress, so you have to cut it off. You should re-glue both ends after fitting new grips to prevent water getting into the heating element. 👍

Great video. Super useful but Plz use different voice than this robot.
