Thanks! Making these videos is frustrating fun!

Think you are correct regarding the programming of the Yamaha heated grips. I have my grips set to the middle of the three programable heat settings, and in cold weather I only have two green LEDs lit - medium setting there too - while riding in 5 °C/40 °F. In other words - the grips are in my case warm enough! 🙂 Also love that the grips have an integrated design!

Yes, that is correct. I am using all three connectors! :-)

I do not know, but it might be low voltage or that the alternator is not able to supply enough amps. When I turn on my heated grips, they turn on at max power; i.e. three lights on. When you turn on the heated grips, put them in the lowest setting, then try with two lights on; i.e. the middle setting. If no flashing leds, you might just have to program the grips for a lower output. There are three different output modes, that mainly changes the max output. On some of the forums people who have measured the actual amperage draw on the Yamaha heated grips, states that the wattage used for both heated grips is much higher than the wattage stated in the manual. More like 6 amps. 6 amps x 12 volt = 72 watts..., the instructions states 22 watts, but that might be 22 watts per grip = 44 watts for two grips? Who knows? Good Luck!

@@orbsurfer8195 That's exactly what i was thinking. But i'm not able to change the settings, the Led's on the heater only flashing after pressing the button and nothing more ... I need to find a way to reset it to default or something like that.

I love the grips! No problem riding in 40 degrees F/ 5 degrees C with these grips. When buying the Yamaha OEM Heated Grips, also buy the Heated Grip Connector Cable, Yamaha part number: BC6-H253L-00. It makes installation easier, and the heated grips can be connected to one of the two electrical auxiliary connections (one connector per side) located under the painted panels up front.

@@orbsurfer8195 thank you for the quick response.

3M Rubber and Vinyl 80 Spray Adhesive. The glue has held up well and the grips have never slipped.

I will connect the wires to the original connector located under the left side panel and make a video.

@@orbsurfer8195 hi there just a quick question should there be any play on the accelerator grip once installed

According to the Service Manual there should be 3-5 mm of free play on the throttle grip when you twist the grip; i.e. a little slack on the cables. There is an adjustment screw and nut on the engine side of the throttle cable.

The grips comes with three different programmable heat settings - different from the three green leds on the grip itself - the benefit is that the lower settings use less power - the settings is really meant for different displacement bikes, because a small cc bike has a smaller alternator than a large cc bike - I think I am using the middle setting and never have had any issues with driving in 5 degree Celsius/40 degree Fahrenheit with only two leds lit up + winter gloves. I will take the bike to Norway - there I will need all three leds (highest setting) lit up in addition to winter gloves and will probably reprogram it to the highest setting! :-)

@@orbsurfer8195 really not sure why hers don't get that hot on mode 3 and setting 3... Maybe we got a dud pair?

Mine do the same, on the highest program setting as shown in the video and barely get hot enough to cope with 10 degrees Celsius in the UK. Strange!

I never gad a problem even after a month of no riding my mt125 started just fine
