Great vid, Sir and spot on. I'm 69 and have tried just about every type of heated grip imaginable in my almost 60 years or riding. When it comes to aftermarket grips, Oxford is absolutely the best. The Brits really nailed it with these. Nothing else comes close. Greetings from Amishland, Pennsylvania.
I found the commuter ones the control box went funny after a few months bought a version 8 control switch (has buttons rather than a switch) which is waterproofed better and it’s been fine for 18 months, won’t be many weeks before they will be getting used again.
Better to dry fit everything first, then glue, has been known to glue on then find electrical problem with the grips, if you have already glued, they will not exchange them.....
You showed you cutting the grip off the throttle side. Exposing the bare metal, and then you must of put that grip back on before supergluing you the old grip and putting the Oxford grip back on top? Not sure why you did that?
I heard on another how to install video that for Oxford grips you need to file down or smooth down the ribs on the grips as the plastic tube inside the heated grips are too tight tolerance to go on without it!, do your Oxfords have a hard plastic tube inside please? I haven't bought the grips yet but they'd be for a Monkey also..
Bought a koso apollo and installed it on my brand new bike with not even 300 miles, less than a week after getting them. It alright to be nervous but the more you delay the worse it will be. Just go and start on your project and start with the hardest part and if you can do that, you can finish your project.
by connecting direct to the battery, isnt there a chance you can flatten it (probably quite quickly) if you leave the grips switched on by mistake when not riding?. I fitted a 4 way auxiliary fuse box to my own bike with a relay switched by the ignition circuit (using the rear number plate light wire) and currently only have a usb charger/voltmeter attached, but intended to fit spade connectors to the heated grip cable and simply plug it in. Isn't this what you should do for a proper job?, or is there something within the grip controller that detects the bike not in use and switches them off?. thanks
How come that all the guides instruct you to directly connect to the battery? These are all wrong you should run the wiers trough the key contact or trough a relay no not risk to dry out the battery if you forget them off or somebody pushes a button while parked
Don't kill your battery This will drain your battery very quickly if you wire it up directly and leave it on without the bike running, so make sure you wire it to a circuit that's only live when the bike's key is in the on position!
How can you make sure you're wiring to a circuit that's only live when the bike is running? I understand what you mean but I have no practical knowledge of wiring on a car/motorcycle
@@stevejohn01 @Gopi if you really want to do it right, you need several components. You want an inline fuse(maybe 15-30 amps depending on how many accessories you want to install) coming off of your battery that runs into an automotive relay. The relay should be wired to a circuit that's already switched on by the ignition(license plate lights, tail lights and headlights are all popular choices. All that circuit has to do is activate the relay and that takes very little power). You wire up the relay to an auxilary fuse block and voila, you have an auxiliary electrical system. Now just wire your accessories to the fuse block and you're all set
@@Funky_Geekso they say but drained my battery 3 times the moment I changed to using a junction box with a relay they only come on with the ignition now I have no dead battery issues.
All of this is a bodge job First Put the on before any glue and figure out your wire position on the throttle all before you add any glue because it sets super fast Do not twist the throttle to get the grip on it will damage your throttle ask how I know 😅 Use a rubber mallet to get the throttle side on if super hard to get the grip onto the throttle tube. And lastly the electronic DO NOT wire directly to the battery I did Thanks to videos like this and ended up with a flat battery on some Welsh Hills lol always wire to a junction box or relay so they only turn on when the ignition is on
Pleas subscribe if this video helped plus check out this crazy adventure 😮
France Adventure!

Clear, concise and informative.
Funny thing is iv fitted these grips on other bikes and my bike comes with heated grips from factory but i still watched lol hi from a new sub
Cheers buddy 👍

This helps a lot coming into winter here in New Zealand and after todays rainy cold Antarctic weather it’s time to buy some heated grips
I love that little Honda monkey! Super fun little machine. I owned the z125 pro and I miss that thing

Perfect timing looks easy to do. Thanks for making this one 💪👍
why do we have to face the display upside down?
You failed to mention the positioning of the part on the throttle side that the cable comes out of
Shouldn't that be underneath 🤔
Has Oxford made any improvements to the grip rubber? My old Oxford heater grips get molten and sticky. Unusable after a while.
I’m riding my bike around the world so I’ll be able to tell you after 👍 ruclips.net/p/PLRUtR8JRmF7oFIkBB_UQNNP8-Ss7rNFyu
Thanks for this great guide. Btw love the shirt and the cause!
Another great how to guide, very helpful 👍🏼
Thank u

That’s the actual throttle underneath the rubber grip. The throttle is black. On some bikes it’s white.

Thanks bud nice explaination.
great breakdown, had my oxford grips pack for near a year, very scared not to mess it up! thanks for a awesome
tutorial sir! 🔥👍

cool vid, subscribed
Thanks 👍
I’m having a crack at this now on my Monkey…Did you sand of the ridges at both ends of the throttle when you did yours?
Nice, straight forward how to guide thanks.
Thank you 👍
how do you clock where the wire comes out?
Another good watch , do love to be warm 🙏😎🤟
Cheers mate 🍻

You are correct. That would be the best way to hook these up
Depending on the model some of them have a vibration sensor. No vibrations and it turns off.
@@Delalconit’s not a vibration sensor, the electronics detect there is no charge coming to the battery and turns them off.
@@Funky_Geek yeah found that out too. Thanks anyway
What about the orientation of the grip power cables, do they go up or down? Thanks
Same as vid
Excellent video

Do you have a video of how to do it that way?

I would use an ignition switched circuit to control a relay, connect the grips and the battery through the relay, job done 👍
@@stevejohn01 @Gopi if you really want to do it right, you need several components.

You don’t need to as these detect when there’s no charging coming to the battery (when it’s turned off) and auto turn themselves off)

Great how to nice one
Thanks for video!.)
Toasty!! 🤣👍
I thought you only used hot pies to warm your hands!? 🥟🥟🥟

You know I want pie now right 😂
Nice one
