Suzuki Heated Grips?

[paulja]

As you know the new Vs can have Suzuki heated grips fitted, this led me to thinking if the newer bike actually has a wiring harness plug\ socket built in (and presumably fused)?

Anyone had the Suzuki heated grips fitted, can confirm if they hook into the harness or are wired directly the battery?

I have Suzuki heated grips fitted to my 2015 DL1000 and to be honest do not think too much of them, The Oxford grips I had fitted to my Wee were much better, I now use Keis heated inner gloves and in this freezing weather my hands say nice and warm all over.

However you find a place to hook them up, go with another brand of heated grip. Suzuki grips are among the worst and the most expensive.

Oh yes, I know the Suzuki grips suck, but I’m interested in how they hook into the wiring- is there a specific plug that Suzuki put in the harness, because if there is that might be useful for other things?

On the K9 the plug is just behind the radiator and I use it to trigger the relay that fires up everything else including hot grips.

The new ones are different from the K series.
