Yamaha Heated Grips Question

[TommyM]

Has anyone fitted the OEM grip heaters to the standard MT09? I like the integrated switch thingy but was wondering how much thicker they are and how grippy the rubber is?
Thanks all

I've got them on my Tracer and they work well, better then the Oxford grips I have on my Fazer and don't seem that much thicker, if at all.

The rubber's pretty grippy and I've done a lot of wet riding with them as well

Thanks Unfazed, I think the Tracer grips are different than the generic Yamaha grip heaters the mt09 gets. Tracer seems to have a lovely light throttle pull too, heavy spring on the MT makes grippy grips essential for me.

I have the OEM ones on my non-Tracer.
I cannot say I have noticed any different feel to them,but they are not warm enough imho.

I fitted the oxford Tourer version... Heats up better than oem (so I've been told)... I attached the bracket to the screen mount, so sits out of site behind the screen, and easy to get too..

Sound advice thanks guys

I have the Oxford "sport" heated grips on me Julie (FZS600)

They seem to be wearing though
