I just got a new pair of the old ones... Asked the nice man in Hein Gericke if he had any, he asks why. Because the new one seems not to work too well with SVs, I say. Funny, someone else said that too.

My old ones have gone a bit wobbly, and at £30 for a new set frankly I can't be bothered to troubleshoot them They're showing their age anyway. So I'll see if these new ones are actually hotter.

how can you tell the differance?

Aha, so the 3rd generation ones have gone back to the linear style grips that were used in the first generation I assume.

Mine are 2nd generation.

Basically, 1st time out, they found out that the grips aren't effective on some bikes, so they changed the wiring INSIDE the grip (the one that gets hot) to counter the problem of heat dissipation through the bars instead of into the hands. 2nd time around was when this was introduced.

3rd time, the controller changed, but the grips seem to of gone back to 1st gen (perhaps).

Hovi5, haven't had chance to get them off today, wont tomorrow either, but might be able to next weekend.

Oxprod (who used to post on here) reckoned they'd added a heat shield on the left grip, but he never mentioned wiring changes. Course, that doesn't mean they'd not done some.

its ok

im in no rush

Never really talked to Oxprod, but I've seen a few posts here & there.

IIRC, the main issue was the metal used in the bars/clipons letting the heat out. Heatshield would help, and I know my left hand was always colder than my right (mainly due to doing bugger all). But I have taken 2 apart with a craft knife & found different wiring on the inside.
