Installing heated grips on a DR650

[@tyee4u]

I had read about that throttle tube problem and spent the $12 on a new tube 👍

I like it when you talk a lot in your videos versus a bunch of fast-forward stuff. Like it. Thanks.

Thanks, this has saved me a heap of faffing around, found a motion pro replacement for about 10 bucks and ordered them, that just looks too hard. cheers

I like the honest real world mechanical review sometimes on KZbin people show you how easy things are, but this is the way usually things go there’s all these little hangups that turn it into a biatch. Thanks.

You can use hairspray to push on a stubborn grip, it also helps to lock it on.

Nice peak into your project.Anything to extend riding time in the northern latitudes.ty

What happens when the grip material on the oxford's wear out? Do we buy a replacement set of heaters?

[@jeremygoertz]

What happens when the tires wear out? Do we buy replacement tires?

I started putting mine on saw the original is one piece with the tube and quit and ordered a new tube for 10$ instead of ruining the original. I'll wait the few days for it to ship.

Good job on the install. That throttle tube almost beat you, lol. How do you fit on the DR? You look like you’re over 6’ tall. Have done any mods for your height. Thanks!

I thought I was crazy while installing my oxford grips. Currently doing that now and found the throttle tube is indeed bonded to the tube. Guess I'll cut them off🤦‍♂️

[@davesober2093]

2 sided tape around your bar and then with alcohol or gas as a lube/catalyst, it will slide right on and lock in. A golf grip technique. I will be quiet now.

[@jeremygoertz]

Right on! Thanks for the tip👍

[@nriyo3]

Jeremy have you ever tried air pressure to free them up?

[@jeremygoertz]

To free up the grips? Yeah I do that in this video on the left one, but the right side I think they actually cast the rubber onto the throttle tube. The air works great for most of them though 👍

[@mjohnson6703]

After seeing this video, I do not want to attempt this ever.

[@davesober2093]

Are you hiding a clown-donkey under the tape on your hat? By the way, I ain't no clown-donkey.

[@jeremygoertz]

Hahahaha!! Just a local company that had hats for cheap but I don’t necessarily want to advertise for them 😆👍

[@josephgeorgeejr7039]

Lift an edge stick a screw driver pull up pour in some alcohol and they slide right off, if that doesn't work, definitely th 60$ lmao

[@jeremygoertz]

Not this one. I’ve changed a lot of grips in my day and this was completely different than any others I’ve seen. If only it were that easy

Typical car guy.
