1200 DVT Dp Heated Grips Fitting

I've fitted them to an Enduro earlier this year. There is a thread on here with me asking questions regarding this, with photos, so its worth a search.
Fitting the grips themselves to the bars is fine, just follow the instructions. Trying to locate the connectors can be entertaining. You might be able to find and connect to them without the tank off.
They will need to be enabled by your dealer. I got mine enabled by the dealer that supplied the bike and subsequently the grips, for free.
Once they are enabled you will get a heated grip symbol appear on the dash. Prior to being enabled the symbol is not present.

Hope that helps.

 

I had DP heated grips fitted to my PP multi a couple of weeks back by snells cheap as chips to fit just the grips were expensive but can't wait to try them out not much help I know but good luck if you have a go your self

 

To someone else interested in fitting Ducati HG in near future because of winter approaching, forget it.
Buy a decent pair of heated gloves instead. Ducati hated grips are useless.

 

Rover, I disagree. The early grips were not great (although mine worked fine) as the grips wore out, but the newer ones are far better.

I wear dainese wet weather gloves most of the year, and even on a real cold wet day the grips work fine. Certainly every bit as good as the oxford grips I have on my R1.
If you wear thick winter gloves then yes it take a while for the heat to come through, just as it does with BMW, oxford etc grips.

 

Yeah me too ,
2011 HG were too hot.
2015 DVT were a sack of shit and hardly worthwhile.
2018 PP are back to their best , too hot on the h0ttest setting.
Couldn't get past the sensation of holding cans of beans with the oxford ones , oh and the johnny 5 control unit looks wank

 

Never had heated grips on a bike before the multistrada and.......I love them, no going back now!

 

Hi John,

My apologies mate. I was again generic. Should have mentioned the year as I didn't know ducati sorted the grips from 18models. Mine is a 17 and it is crap. Good for autunn but anything bellow 5C need heated gloves, which I find better anyway because it heats the palm, back of your hands and along each finger.

 

Thinking of adding Ducati heated grips to 2017 DVT. Do you know if the newer (improved) versions fit / work with this bike?

 

Thanks for that. Interesting! Ducati Manchester advised me to wait till Sept for any potential 'deals' and they will fit them free of charge - I'm happy to let them! I had Oxford heated grips on my 1200 monster and yes, hot but never really used them at 100% as I'm sure the lights dimmed when I did! Like other aftermarket ones, they also have the trailing cable which isn't ideal.
