- I asked Zarkie (the Australian importer of Komine gear) for a set of the Komine heated grips. I was after a set of grips that dont have a separate control box. Scott at Zarkie is a great supporter of my channel and was kind enough to relinquish a set! Go and check them out.

Great video Nerb! Appreciate your efforts in putting this together and keep up the awesome content. Looking forward to you really testing the grips out through the winter. Cheers!
Bought these for my WR250R after watching your video a month ago! Love these things! Very good quality product!
I do like the indicator light telling you what setting they are on. Also agree that having them wired on permanently can be a bad thing as 11.5v seems rather low for a cut off point.
I ended up using the Oxford, same as you though with a relay. Dont trust those internal sensors to keep my battery safe. My bike didnt have a stock empty plug so I use the numberplate light wiring as the relay trigger. its easy to get to, close to the battery normally, and isnt something that will disable the bike if my wiring goes awry or the relay gets wet.
with the factory grips i only have to use my summer gloves all year. lowest temp. 3degrees outback qld last winter...
11.5 V won’t start my KTM 500. It will turn over the crank but the fuel pump doesn’t work because it needs 12V to operate normally. I run Oxfords off a completely separate fuse box so it can never work unless the motor is going.
Nice video Nerb. You may want to get yourself a pair of flush cut pliers. Jaycar has a nice Japanese made set for not a lot of money. Then you can cut your cable ties flush. Stops you from getting nasty sharp cable tie cuts in your hands when you reach into tight places on the bike.
Have the koso Apollo on my 790. Same left grip control as these (probably produced in the same Chinese factory as the ones you installed). They also suck to install (thanks KTM for going heavy on the glue) but top notch otherwise.
Please show us how you wired your relay!
Mmmm controller switches in the grips is a great idea for saving handlebar space!… wonder if I can get these in the UK….
I’m so disappointed with the Yama ones, in +5 c and they not hot enough.
🔥
Like the set up on this brand, looking for something like this. Oxford are on my mind, but thise are looking nice. Are you running lithium battery on this bike,l know you did on the 1190, how dos it cope with very cold weather? Cheers
Hey Nerb! Trim those cable end flush will ya? Might upgrade my OEM heated grips with these for that cleaner integration. What do the grips themselves feel like, hand comfort wise?
Hi Nerb, many thanks for your channel. One of the go to channels for T7 stuff. Are you still happy with your Komine heated grips?
The control module on the left grip looks like it would be bulky and intrusive and rub on your thumb knuckle either putting a hole in the glove or making a blister or pushing your hand out an extra half inch.
They must have stopped gluing the grips on after your left grip. Neither of mine were glued on.
Nice grips and a good video. The only thing that always amazes me how people are publishing their riding with speedo clearly way over the speed limit signs they are passing. It is known that at least VicPolice are often using RUclips videos to actually fine people (since they provided the evidence of violating road rules themselves publicly).
Great video! Have you run the Oxford heated grips before? Just wondering you they get as hot as the oxfords and if they are more/less bulky? I found the oxfords to be massive grips, so looking for a better alternative :)
why not use the 2 accessary plugs under the side fairing ? than it turns off when the bike is off. no wire trouble. [its the 2 pin connectors and 3 pin connectors under side fairing. 1/2 2 pin connectors is used for car charge jacket. others are free to use.]
