[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 545685, member: 277"] A tip-off that you have the Yama knock off grip heater is the power indicator LED. Not only are these controller less expensive, they are cheap too ;) These grip heaters will be adequate for those that live in warmer climes but won't cut it for real cold weather riding. These grips can only accept ~1/2 the power of the real Yamaha kit or the various heat tapes with a Heat Troller. I've tried them below 40°F and they don't cut it. Also, the way this heat controller produces power is different from from any quality controller like Yamaha and Heat Troller controllers. The inexpensive/cheap controller will [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?s=&showtopic=12819&view=findpost&p=164437"]pound your electrical system[/URL] and may interfere with music/communications equipment. The stock Gen II electrical system can run heat tapes and almost any other heated grips & controllers just fine. Motorcycle heated grip kits max out at around 36 watts which is the same power expectation that the Gen IIs electrical system has. [/QUOTE]
