[QUOTE="FJRocket, post: 206259, member: 299"] My '04 heaters would get the gel grips tacky, they got so hot. I've wondered if my OEM grips weren't defective. What I ASSUMED was that Yamaha kept them detuned for liability reasons. I can't grab the '04 aftermarket grips with a bare hand for very long when turned up full bore. The AE grips just seem hot to the bare hand, and on the "just warm" side of hot (in comarison). I know it's very subjective. I was wondering if Yamaha hadn't hooked the heaters up "in half", and could be hacked to make them hotter. The aftermarket grips can be set up a couple different ways depending on how much heat and amperage you want to draw. One of these days I hope to check out another AE or Yamaha factory heated grip set and see how mine compare. Regardless, they ARE nice to have, no matter how you slice it. [/QUOTE]
