Unless they've changed the design, the autoshutoff on Oxford grips is not going to help you if you leave them on.I have oxford grips, wouldn't be without them on a bike now.
Happy with how they feel compared to standard grips. Heat wise they get HOT !!! Thankfully there is different heat settings.
I always forget to turn them off but the oxfords have a little device that kills the power to them when it senses the bike has been turned off.
Very happy with them.
Should add, although bordering on sacrilege, I have handlebar mufflers on my MT07, which solves a fair bit of the cold back of hands problem. Looks like ass, of course.I have the oxford ones too, the latest Sport kit.
Took me an hour or two to install, very easy.
Never had battery drain issues, and I have forgotten them on more than once
I like them a lot, like it was mentioned above the back of your hand gets cold, also my thumb tend to get a bit cold even with the heaters on, I ride with thin gloves though. helps to change the grip, my thumb tends to poke downwards when I ride so not much of it is in contact with the actual grip.
I use mine on mild days too, especially on long trips, just set them to 30-40% and that keeps my hands comfy.
I have a car I use that in the cold months and when its wet. The MT is just for joyridesShould add, although bordering on sacrilege, I have handlebar mufflers on my MT07, which solves a fair bit of the cold back of hands problem. Looks like ass, of course.
Usually the Oxford ones are on the shelf, the yamaha ones has to be ordered, and I heard they take ages to arrive. Price could also a factor I guess, but I did not even know Yamaha had them.any reason you guys didn't get the yamaha ones? was it just the price?
They might have changed them, I test fitted a pair direct to the battery about 5 years ago on my MT03, forgot to turn them off and the battery was utterly dead the next morning. I read that the autocutoff happened at a relatively low voltage, and a lot of other people had the same experience.Not sure you may be right @sdrio but ive left them turned on on multiple occasions over the past year and never had any issues. If i leave them on when swithing the bike off after about 30 seconds to 1 min the little green light starts flashing and the grips start to cool down so i thought it was switching them off. Your obviosly more clued up than me im just speaking from my experience with the grips.
too hot on any setting?i had the oxford premium sports fitted, its hard to ride with them turned on now! haha
