Setup and Installation
Professional installation is recommended for this product. Incorrect installation can lead to damage to the product, your motorcycle, or personal injury. Ensure the motorcycle's ignition is off and the battery is disconnected before beginning installation.
1. Handlebar Compatibility
These heated grips are designed for handlebars with a diameter of 22.2 mm. Please verify your motorcycle's handlebar diameter before proceeding. (Note: Some product descriptions may mention 25.4 mm; always confirm your specific handlebar size.)
2. Removing Existing Grips
- Carefully remove your motorcycle's existing handlebar grips. You may need to cut them off if they are glued.
- Clean the handlebar surfaces thoroughly, removing any old adhesive or residue. Ensure the surface is dry before installing new grips.
3. Installing Heated Grips
- Apply a small amount of grip adhesive (not included) evenly to the handlebar surface.
- Slide the Daytona heated grips onto the handlebars. Ensure the wires exit cleanly and are not pinched. Allow the adhesive to cure according to its manufacturer's instructions.
4. Mounting the Control Unit
- Select a suitable location on your handlebar for the control unit, ensuring it is easily accessible and does not obstruct controls.
- Attach the mounting bracket to the handlebar using the provided screws/bolts.
- Secure the control unit to the mounting bracket.
5. Wiring Connection
Connect the wiring harness from the heated grips and control unit to your motorcycle's electrical system. It is crucial to connect to a switched 12V power source (e.g., ignition switched power) to prevent battery drain when the motorcycle is off. Use the provided electrical splice connectors if necessary, ensuring secure and insulated connections. Route all wires carefully, securing them with the provided cable ties to prevent interference with moving parts or damage from heat/abrasion.
