Ebay doesn't list any busted ones

I believe that is not quite the latest controller (the very latest ones are digital with an on/off switch) but that is the model I have had problems with. It could be my bike; a pointy with its beefier battery might mean you dont have probs

ASH, why the devil should battery capacity affect things under steady state conditions?

My controller's an even earlier one with a wheel that you press as the on off switch.

I have the same problem with this bl00dy controller on my curvy!!
Seems to be ok after 10 mins when the bike warms up though...? Not what you want in the winter is it...

Right I've moaned to oxford and with a bit of encouragement they've offered me a controller for £16.19, which I'm considering.
Thanks for all your help though everyone, particularly fast druid but I'm just too dim so I guess I'll end up doing the easier slightly more expensive option.
However, I still fancy adding a fuse to the hotgrips controller so it won't take out my ignition again. Is it just as simple as putting a fuse inline in one of the wires coming away from the ignition?

The only way to be sure is with a relay.
