How to fit Oxford HotGrips® 2023 

u could just heat it up ... and it slides off . no need to replace anything

@@polynoominen If you have a metal throttle tube, maybe. Otherwise no. The grips themselves are made to be hot and have overlapping plates along the length of the inside that shrink down to clamp on to whatever you are glue them to when the glue hits the plastic coating lining the inside of them..

Honestly, thicker gloves won’t do it

Heated gloves

It's easy! Nothing to it.

@@ronleon62 I bought them and they were not an easy install. The quality is so bad that you have to address that before you can install them. I had to do lots of small things which made this take longer than it should.

Lol if you think this is a faff then suggest you find a different hobby. Or pay a shop to do it since that's probably what you do for everything else.

Use a brand new blade, ours was a little blunt. Take your time and be firm with the cut.

Our technicians offer the grip up on the outside of the throttle tube, rather than slide it on, make a cut mark and use scissors to trip, the scissors produce a smoother finish. Keith, KSR Performance Motorcycles Ltd 👍

This isn't a review.

@@ksrperformancemotorcycles3696what do you mean?

No you wouldn't activate them in the normal ride position. You have to move your thumb up to change which is not how'd ride.

Looking to buy new heated grips for my new bike how do the pro grips perform are they ant hotter better than the Oxford intelligent grips.

@@effyzzr The Pro grips have an integrated button into the grip which means a much tidier look plus the grip is made from silicon which lasts many many times longer. They also are the first heated grips to ever feature integrated thermistors which measure the actual grip surface temperature and regulate to the desired temperature. Because of this they will never get too hot and are the safest heated grips. These will not be hotter than the Advanced or Premium models but with this intelligent auto regulation, your hands will never be cold.

@@Willgrf I found they never got anywhere near warm enough certainly they don’t get hot for the price I would get the intelligent grips next time. Had them changed once by the dealer but they still did not get warm enough.

Are the HotGrips wired to a switched live? Any issues please contact custserv@oxprod.com

The HotGrips can be attached via 2 methods, and have 3 Battery Saving Modes (BSM). BATTERY SAVING MODE (BSM): Lead Acid (BSM) + Lithium (BSM) BSM is designed to save the motorcycle battery from being drained to a low voltage level, and causing damage to the battery. LEAD ACID BSM - IDEAL FOR AGM/MF/WET BATTERIES • The BSM kicks in at

@@OxfordProductsLtd Thankyou, I’m guessing this is from the instructions that ship with the grips. Maybe put it on your website too? Sounds perfect for my needs👍

@@oaken8 it is on the dedicated HotGrip site - www.oxfordhotgrips.com/

@@OxfordProductsLtd Do you do a grip that will fit a Bmw clutch side or do I have to cut off the plastic sleeve that is part of the switch housing?

@@oaken8 the clutch side is normally a plain metal bar once the grip is removed. Is this not the case? Can you send a pic over to custserv@oxprod.com if your having issues please.

The Clutch side grip should be able to peal off without cutting the original grips - the throttle side is bonded to the throttle tube. If you want to keep the original grip intact you should be able to purchase a new throttle tube online or from a Suzuki dealer.

Take the bar ends off, slide a flat bladed screwdriver between rubber grip & throttle tube, squirt some brake cleaner up the space next to the screwdriver & rotate the screwdriver around the throttle tube to break the seal. Pull the grip off. Easy.

They increase the value of the bike, once they are on, they are on. You would destroy them to get them off once the glue has set

Lol They don't increase the value of the bike at all, but they might make someone choose your bike instead of another one. But they are also very cheap to replace so you wouldn't want to remove them.

We can certainly add it to our list 😀

Lol that means no 😆

They each have a different grip. Sports - Soft, ultra-grippy diamond tread, inspired by race grips, for comfort and feedback. Adventure - Ideal for off road trails featuring a waffled finger-grip area for increased control. Touring - Vibration absorbing tread, which is ideal for comfortable long distance cruising.
