Cold hands compromise comfort and control. Heated grips offer a simple upgrade to extend your riding season.

Selecting the Right Heated Grips

Choose grips compatible with your GS model and consider variable heat settings for flexibility.

Check for quality wiring harnesses and waterproof components.

Preparing Your Tools and Workspace

Work in a clean, dry area with necessary tools like screwdrivers and wire strippers at hand.

Disconnect the battery to ensure safety during wiring.

Installing the Grips

Remove existing grips carefully and slide on heated grips, securing with adhesive if required.

Route wiring away from moving parts and secure harnesses properly.

Connecting to Power and Final Testing

Tap into the accessory power circuit or battery with an inline fuse for protection.

Test the grips for heat uniformity and switch function before reassembling.
