What kind of wire does a hot grip use?
WIRING: Follow our wiring diagram, there is no polarity to the two external wires coming from each grip, no positive nor negative. IMPORTANT: Hot Grips® for THIS model are wired in “Parallel”, meaning each grip gets 12 volts. Your ground connection is important, so scrape the paint off directly under the contact point you make.
What’s the best way to charge a hot grip?
Remove center wire ( or cut it a few inches away) from the Hot Grip® 3-position switch, and use an independent voltage source. Use a car battery or a 12 volt battery charger with minimum 3 amps output to feed power to the switch. Ground the last grip’s (if they are wired in “series”) wire to the car battery or battery charger’s negative.

How long does it take for a hot grip to heat up?
Turn the Hot Grips® switch to “Hi” and the grips should heat up in 3-5 minutes. If not, then you need to check resistance of each grip, and the switch. Bypassing the switch is easy, instead of wiring your independent voltage source to the center terminal, just wire it to wire going from the switch to the first Hot Grip®.

What’s the proper way to install hot grips?
While aligning the external black wires, push the right grip on the throttle tube fully, and you should clear away epoxy as it is slid on if it builds up excessively as the grip moves fully into position. IMPORTANT: DO NOT PULL THE GRIP OFF at this point because then the epoxy will gum up the throttle action.
What’s the ground connection on a hot grip?
IMPORTANT: Hot Grips® for THIS model are wired in “Parallel”, meaning each grip gets 12 volts. Your ground connection is important, so scrape the paint off directly under the contact point you make. Ground shouldn’t be to the handlebars as some are rubber mounted and perhaps electrically isolated from your system.
What kind of Charger do I need for hot grips?
If You Are In A Hurry, it is OK to quicken the cure by temporarily wiring the two grips in “parallel” as shown in our wiring diagram, and applying 12 volts using a car battery or battery charger capable of at least 3 amps.
