Triumph 1200 XC Factory Heated Grip Installation 

Hey, it’s been a while since you posted this, but it looks like it’s still the only RU-vid tutorial for this install on the Scrambler 1200. Mine is the XE, so I also had to remove the hand guards, but otherwise this went more easily than I expected. It took me two hours at a relaxed pace, including the usual weekend interruptions of a family man working on his bike. I followed the advice of a recent commenter, and simply loosened the lever and mirror assembly on the left side so it could slide out of the way, and didn’t bother removing the clutch and switch housing. Worked great. Silicone spray is your friend for fishing those cables, though! Thanks for the video, and keep the rubber side down!

Control cluster removal: Just take two 1.5mm hex wrenches and insert them (long side) into the slot and then slide the panel off easily. No special tool required.

I could not say enough THANK YOU. No way to install the heating grips without your Video 🍻

Thanks for making this. Really useful and I followed it step by step. It works. I did figure out that on the clutch side that you don’t have to remove the button box as the hole in the bars on the underside are exposed enough to get the harness threaded through to the bars ends. To do this I first ran single core wire through to the bar ends and used that to pull through the harness wires.

Following your instructions, thanks. I bought the switch gear tool and it’s still a PAIN. Taking a break and I’ll try again in a bit!

I put the $5 heated grip wraps from eBay on my bike. They are not bad and saved my hands several times in below freezing temps.

Hey awesome video! I'm gonna put some non-stock pro taper adv high bars and wanted to know how complicated it would be to get the heated grips off and on again so this was super handy, thanks for taking the time to explain it all. I know it takes me ages to do informative videos like this!

For anyone wondering, the Triumph heated grips at the high setting are hot! Uncomfortably hot to hold with bare hands, on a warm day, at least. I’d seen some comments about low heat on these on the 2019 model, but it looks like they’ve resolved any issues. Made sure to test them before buttoning everything back up.

Hey, thanks for the video. Did you remove the fuel pump and gage when you moved the tank ?

When you disconnect the battery, you lose the date information, which brings up the service icon. To rectify, go into “Display Setup”, scroll date till you find “Date”, and enter the correct date.

I’m planning an iron butt ride to San Diego and back to Dallas in 48hrs on the Burgman. Do you know a cool site to see on the beach for photos before I head back? Thinking about the Walking on water cafe for breakfast😁 Any ideas are much appreciated

Do you happen to know if the euro5 XE bikes come pre-wired from factory? So just plug and play the heated grips.

hey, How did you manage to get the LH control cluster off? I have been trying now for a few hours 1x tiny Allen (hex) tool 2x 1.5mm hex tools, long shaft 1/8” screwdriver etc but with no luck. Can kinda feel the tools slotting in to something but no ‘click’ & release no matter how hard I try.

Does this mean you sold the burgy?
