The original wiring needs to be activated by a dealer. I doubt they would do it for you. But maybe worth asking
Already got heated grips but left hand grip u/s I'm not prepared to pay Ducati price so thinking of trying different make but wondered if I could splice into original wiring.
Fitted the R&G heated grips to the Mutly and soldered wiring to original wiring, they work perfectly.
On the 1200 DVT they were not very warm... they actually got to around 60'C... but did not have enough power to maintain that with windchill when the ambient temps dropped below 10'C. (or at least for me) I had the same on my 15 and 17 DVT.. even had them changed by dealer on 15 DVT... all 3 sets same..
Personally find them ok on the DVT they are crap on the scrambler. I think Oxford are the best but it difficult to do a tidy job on a naked bike Just bought a pair of heated gloves
I use heated gloves and heated grips when its cold (less than 8'C) - on both the scrambler 800 and 1100 and the Multi 1200 DVT
The originals (PRE DVT) used to be great, but broke a lot. The DVT ones are more robust but nothing like as warm I've heard the 1260 ones are better. It's probably all down the the software really!
Had mine (1260) on medium this morning, 7°C ambient temperature, open countryside A roads so reasonable pace. Almost too warm, had to knock em down to low once I hit town. Not sure if I'll ever use high unless colder and on a motorway run. Seems like they've got it pegged about right on the latest model.
So is it just the grips you solder in? You don't need the oxford controller? My right grip stopped working ages ago
