So has anyone tried these yet? Do they firm up the front or just a gimmick? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Looks like you got all the screws. The bottom part is then held on by 3 rubber pop in things (don't know what they are called) I just pulled the bottom side and the bottom popped out then I could unxlip the top side. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

I put on an ixil x55. No changes needed just plug and play.

Depends on the gloves you use. I read that the grips are designed to be used with winter gloves so they do get very hot at 100% setting.

I see that every morning, people using their mobile phones. Drives me crazy when I see it, I've thought about honking the horn or something and telling them off but the last thing you want is some nut case getting road rage at you. Maybe you should log it all and inform the police about how...

The new premium oxford grips auto shut off by two methods. One is low voltage on the battery but also by sensing "noise" on the dc supply. Whrn the bike is running the dc voltage has a ripple in it due to all the electrics running on the bike, when that ripple or noise is not present then they...

Cleaning - the worst part of biking. For all the niggly little bits you need a motorbike brush set. Dirt cheap off ebay, like big pipe cleaner it gets into all the nooks and crannies. Also bends to the shape you need. Chain - get a chain brush (ebay) which brushes 3 sides of the chain at the...

What I dont get is that the standard down bracket looks nice but then they stick that big plastic snow shovel on the end. I got a tidy from US off ebay, cheap with excellent quality.

I've only seen the first episode and having not alot of spare time haven't started on it yet (got hooked on homeland) So is it worth following?

Seen the fuseblock, handy if you have lots of extras. Ive no space under the seat as I've got a larger toolkit, lock and puncture kit there

LOL, trust an engineer to over complicate things! Oh well my techie side enjoyed doing the mods and it worked without cutting into any existing wiring so my hands were toasty warm this morning. Guess the next bike I'll take an easier route.

I had originally thought of doing that. However I did not do this for two reasons. 1. Full load on the grips is 4A. The existing fuses could blow under some circumstances if you have the grips at 100% and the rxisting fused circuit is highly loaded. 2. Accessing the existing wiring is tricky...

I bought a set of oxford hot grips for the MT and have seen alot of people wiring them (and other makes) straight to the battery. The oxford premium grips do have a battery save function where they switch off if the battery voltage goes low or the detect no "noise" on the electrical supply...

Good to hear you're getting it sorted. Doed depend on the dealer sometimes as to who's side they are on.

I think that looks good if I'm doing more dirt tracks I might consider a few mods. Wouldn't take much to prep it for light offroad without ruining its on road ability

I haven't had a pillion on mine as Vold asked. My wife won't get on any bike.... Although she did get on my SV once (only because it was the quickest way into Oslo to hang around outside the grand hotel in the hope she would see Will Smith who was staying there....) But sure someone around...

The motocage is purely a visual difference if you like the look go for it, if not go for base model. There are parts of the motocage I like and some I don't but its purely a personal preference, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that. As for the MT09, not tried one. I had the option...

For me it depends, if I'm going slow at low revs then yes the bike is a little jerky.

I've had the ABS cut in once but it was my fault during an emergency braking when a car pulled out. I pulled too quickly. Other than that it's never cut in (the back has cut in once or twice but that was when i first got the bike) Could it be you weren't progressive with the braking not...

I think with such a good engine its only a matter of time before they start shoehorning it into others models like suzuki did with the 650 v twin from the sv
