Moto Guzzi V85TT - OEM Heated Grips Installation

A video showing how to install OEM Heated Grips to the bike if yours doesn't come with them. I'm not a mechanic and successfully completed the install in an afternoon. Thoroughly enjoyed accomplishing this task myself and has given me confidence to tackle other maintenance on the V85TT.

Thank you!

Is there audio on this? I can’t hear anything

[@davidpisciotta1552]

Thank for writing back on my question! Glad to see all is well, after the install it’s been said there was calibration of the throttle valve which can only be done by the dealer although some have said not necessary. Have you been able to get any seat time? What’s your thought?

[@mardizano]

I've done 2000kms since install three weeks ago and there is no difference to the throttle reaction

[@jianggenesis]

Welcome back! I'm on the fence about getting this bike or the v7 stone. I'm not a fan of the beak on the V85TT is it possible to remove that?

[@mardizano]

Anything is possible

[@henrietn]

I do love the bike though. What is your experience on acceleration? Is it a bike you might get tired of quickly? It does seem to have loads of character. I ride a cb500x atm and looking for something else.

[@mardizano]

Nah I enjoy riding it. It is ride by wire so pretty responsive throttle but only moderately fast compared to a triple or the big boxer adventure bikes

[@henrietn]

​@@mardizano Is yours a 2021 or 2020 ? I heard that they moved the torque curve lower on the 2021 model (being euro5)

[@mardizano]

@@henrietn mine is the original 2020 first 100 off the production line

The instruction manual says that after assembling the kit it is necessary to proceed with a new learning operation of the right hand grip using the P.A.D.S. diagnistic tool. Did you do that or does it work without this procedure?

[@user-tq7bc2ry8v]

Sorry, this question ist already answered.

[@mardizano]

I didn't do that and it works straight away after installation

[@user-tq7bc2ry8v]

Thank you!

[@guzziraz]

That only applied to the E4 bikes, not the E5 and later (2021 on), per the instructions the come with the kit (now).

You need a big flathead screwdriver to remove the two hoses attached to the white round plastic thing that prevented you from removing the fuel tank.
That was informative but painful to watch especially with the naked(uncovered) fuel tank in that position.
