Heated grip
 
Hi
Just fitted some Daytona heated grips to my 2008 tenere. Well they work but the amount of heat from them seems a little pathetic!
The start (booster" is fine = nice and warm, however when I swith to the on position (as directed in the instructions) they cool down so much that its almost pointless having them on!
It states in the instructions that if the grips are kept on Start (boost) while riding they will break.
Any suggestions chap/chapesses???

Thanks

Can't help with the Daytona grips, but I have heated grips on my Pan European. Seriously, you don't want them too hot! One a very cold night (below freezing) a couple of weeks ago I switched them on at level 4 out of 4. Within a mile, I couldn't bear to touch the grips, even with gloves on. Setting 2 proved the 'Baby Bear' setting - just right. On warmer nights, setting 1 is OK. Use the boost setting to get some warmth into them, and then go back to standard. The fact they don't feel hot isn't the issue - they should feel warm, and then they are keeping your hands warmer than they would be.
