Found this video and it helped! My heated wires weren't the same as the ones in this video but I got the gist of the repair and now my left grip heats up again. Thanks!
Thanks, the grips are now $200, well worth taking a look for repair. I have one I removed due to failure and have been waiting for a quiet moment to take a to see what is inside.
It is crazy how much money bmw charges for some molded plastic, a bit of rubber and literally A WIRE. Take your time and I with you the best of luck. Hope this video helps.
Super und lieben Dank für das Video!! Gerade erfolgreich repariert und es heizt wieder... hat nur noch die Demontage des Griffs selber gefehlt, das ist vielleicht eine Fummelei, aber jetzt gehts wieder! Herzlichen Dank!
Thank you very much for doing this video. You have given me the confidence to tackle my broken grip. I repaired my grip earlier this evening and they are working great. Thanks again!
lucre sabbatini no idea. It was some wire i had laying around. It was definely larger than the original. The only important thing is that you dont use TOO thin of a wire so it wont burn out right away again
Hey, the cable in the right hand grip it's a nicrom (nickel 80% 20% chromium) 32 awg. It´s used for resistance in the hair dryers. I think its better repair it using a electricity tape for covering, I mean by presure. Regards
Hi there! Thanks for the video.... Could I use a copper wire to splice or do I have to use the Nicrom one (i don't have this kind of wire right know). Thanks again
This helped me repair my 2012 f800r right grip!!! Thanks so much! one super critical step is getting into the multifunction switch (kill switch/ heated grip switch) otherwise you can't remove the throttle grip. On my bike I needed a t9 torx for multifunction switch, a t15 to remove 2 more screws, oh and a t55 to first remove the bar end / weight.

always good to hear it helped another person to not spend crazy money just because a stupid wire broke

Excellent, I also did this repair however it failed several months later and will be doing it again. What type of wire did you use to splice?

Perfekt thank you
Please let me know some detaila:
The diametre of heating wire , the curent value trough them, the lenght of this wire, resistance.
Felician Chirila this was three years ago. The wire is super thin, maybe 0,2mm. That‘s all I can tell you.

Yea, should have mentioned that. The torx 9 is REALLY an odd bit you need. Happy to hear it helped you!
