Heated grips
Hi Josh,
My XT600E and Tenere both have heated handlebar grips fitted and have caused no problems with the bikes electrical systems. I don't do short trips with lots of stop / starts though.
The grips that I fitted have two settings, 'Start' which heats them up quickly ans 'Run' which keeps them warm once they have heated up. Start uses a lot more current so I switch to Run fairly quickly to give the electrical system an easier time, but I don't know if this is really necessary.
If you only do short trips and you do find that the battery does run down, fitting an LED back light might just make the difference.
If you are riding this time of year I certainly recommend fitting them
