- Oxford Heaterz Premium Heated Grips Buying Guide www.revzilla.co... Cold hands make for no good motorcycling experience. Aside from the comfort factor, having cold hands makes you less responsive to road conditions. It is a safety factor at that point. Warm hands, like warm muscles and warm engines, perform better. If you are an all-weather, all-year type of rider, Oxford heated grips are a high-value, high-bang-for-your-buck option to help make the most out of your time on two wheels.

I have installed the Oxford grips on two different bikes in the past year and suggested to be extra careful with the super glue. I would not put the glue in the tube and only on the bar, especially on the throttle side. On the throttle, side be extra careful and only put glue on the bar from the outermost part to 3/4 in. Otherwise, you risk super gluing your throttle as the glue will get under the tube. Then you will have to start all over and disassemble your throttle tube and cables to clean it all out which makes this a much harder installation than you may have wanted. About the product itself, I love them. Oem heaters are great if they come already installed, and if they don't I would buy the Oxford every time. I'm not crazy about the mounting bracket as I have to always have to modify it in some way for my bikes. I also spray paint the mount black to match my bars, most bikes brake or mirror clamps are black so why do them in silver that it stands out .
lol I just did this last night, the whole install took 5 hours because of how long it took for me to remove the entire assembly and get the glue out....
Use the old hairspray trick,just use a little then slide grip on works a treat.
@@MsOldfart1 How does that work?
@@brentbradley6711 Hairspray is a lacquer . When it dries it acts like a glue . When it's still wet it's somewhat of a lubricant , for short period of time .
I wish I had read this comment… now I’m stuck with a half-stuck throttle😂
Just thought I'd post a comment on my install experience for anyone installing these.
I've never done work on any sort of vehicle before I installed this and I was able to install everything onto a Honda NC700x without much of a problem. The biggest snag I had came from the throttle side since the tube had ridges on it and a lip on the end of the throttle tube. We sanded these down and the grip slipped on easily after that.
A fair warning if you do have to sand your throttle tube: the powder that you'll get from the sanding process burns your skin. I'm sure that's making seasoned mechanics facepalm like mad and I should have probably had the common sense to have worn at least a mask to not inhale the dust, but it was a pretty painful experience to get burned by that crap in either event, so just a heads up.
After using them at night for a week or so (it drops to roughly 65 here at night which is chillier than you'd expect on a bike), I'd definitely rate them 10/10, especially given the price.
Apotheosis 65 is cold hahahahahahahah
For the first 3 seconds, I thought you were talking Bulgarian... or Mongolian.

it freaked me out
north korean news style
Just fitted mine today… totally recommend these Oxford heaterz… super easy to use… quick one button full heat switch on by just holding the + button for two seconds… plus can be switched off quickly too using the - button again for two seconds… has enough heat settings to suit all environments… when the engine is switched off, it will carry on till it reads a drop in voltage, then switches to standby mode, then after five minutes the unit switches off completely, so no worries about being forgetful… easy to install and the only lengthy part is removing the old grips… can't wait to test them out and hear what all the rage is, as I've heard once you've tried you ain't going back to icy rubber… great vid btw;))
+Thermoman 69691 7 month update? How are the Oxfords holding up?
Best on the market I've had no problems with those intelligent grips gets amazingly hot in the dead of winter!
7/8” on the clutch side , but the throttle side needs to accommodate the throttle tube! It is bigger, read the install manual for details.
Just got my Touring model of these and let me tell you that the installation "ease" varies widely by bike. I have an ST1300 and it took me several DAYS to get these installed. Biggest problem was the tight tolerance between the inside diameter of grips and the outside diameter of bar and throttle sleeve. In addition, these grips are covered in rubber on the inside so they've added friction with that material on the inside. I've heard alot of horror stories about folks only getting the grips on half way when the glue kicks off. This then requires a destruction of the grips to get them off. In my case I wanted to make sure they dry fit before applying the glue. However, could only slide them on ~1-2", and that was using soapy water. Totally stuck on how to proceed. I spent about 20 minutes filing and sanding down throttle sleeve, but not much room to play with. On clutch side I used emery paper to remove old glue. Eventually said F-IT and got a water soluble lubricant (you'll find it in drugstore by condoms :-)) to do a final install. It took all my strength, and a few new blisters, to get the grips on. Even so, I would have liked the throttle side to go on another 1/2 - 3/4" or so. Caveat Emptor
Fellow ST1300 owner here. In your opinion is the glue really necessary for a good fit? Also have to rode with them yet to see if they give off enough heat? Thinking about adding a set as I am about to add an aux fuse box to the bike. Thanks in advance!
@@nlopitziii For my install glue wasn’t necessary at all. In fact just opposite, I needed a lubricant to fully get them on. Ended up using a water based type that you find in drug store. I just rode them yesterday in 36-41degree temps for two hrs. They had plenty of heat, but end of finger tips still got a bit cold since they were touching the grips. Next step is heated vest. Btw, I considered putting in a fuse box but didn’t know if that would interfere with the current sensing and auto off function of the controller. Let me know how your install goes, I’m curious if I’m only 1300 owner who’s had problem fitting these. Exact model is the “Heaterz EVO” Touring
You always present and demonstrate every product so well. Subbed
How do they hold up?
Which version/style do you recommend for a little Yamaha Zuma scooter for commuting?
I just bought a pair from you......I thought I saw an install video.....BTW, as usual, great video Anthony
Between these two you should be good to go. -Kraus-e

Can RevZilla guy loose the voice? Maybe it's part of the brand... but it's impossible to listen to. A more natural yet enthusiastic voice would be far more effective. Thanks.
Just opened my Oxford Grips up, I was waiting for my bars to come in. It appears that the inside of both my left and right grips are the same diameter. They Are both the smaller size of the clutch side. They are marked properly left and right but the right one is not even close to fitting with a throttle tube in place. I've measured both inside diameters and they appear to be exactly the same. Must be a packing or manufacturing error. I just sent an email to Revzilla.
Will this grips work with honda cbr650r 19 plate ?
Had these on my bike, lasted just over a year. Connection broke on the accelerator from twisting over time, can't fix only replace and Oxford won't sell you one only a complete pack.
Hey azanthia revzibby kibby watchthis decide and ride?
Holy crap, way too much unnecessary panning. Who made this? JJ Abrams? The constant unneeded "artistic" panning is overkill and very distracting.
Just got Oxford grips and I'm fairly certain RevZilla shipped me a returned open box unit... Ironic given the ending of this video.
It's definitely possible-- I've even seen a pair come from Oxford like that. It's rare, but it happens. Give us a ring and we can get you fixed up! 877-792-9455 -Kraus-e
You did not even use the grip in the video.
I clicked on the screen when you said "click here...and nothing ever hapend!! im very disapointed...my life will never be the same!!!
So if you leave them on when turning off the bike, will it kill ur battery or drain in significantly?
No, they have an auto-off feature, so the automatically turn off if voltage drops to 10.5V. So it still can drain the battery a bit, but it shouldn't kill the battery. I recommend tapping into switched power if you can. -DrewZilla
Just a heads up, I think the link for the product is broken.
Milta You get a t-shirt! Thanks for the help. We fixed it. Send me an email at cs@revzilla.com referencing this post and I'll get your t-shirt right out. -Hi-Viz Brian
Hey Revzilla Please Answer me :) I am thinking of linking these grips into the electrical system instead of the power system, so they turn off imediately after I turn the bike of. Do you think this is a good idea? will I lose any functionality? Could you suggest a suitable position in the electrical system? (I was thinking of spitting the line to the little sidelight that I swapped to an LED so it draws less power).
Thank you for your answer!
Yes, you can wire these into a switched circuit on your bike. You need to make sure that the circuit you choose can handle the current draw. I cannot suggest a definitive place to tap, though, as not all bikes are the same. -DrewZilla
Hi i wanted to know can oxford heated grip can be installed for the royal enfield interceptor 650. If so which model of heated grip I must purchase?? Waiting for your reply .
Thank you in advance.
Yes, they can be installed on the Interceptor, and to go with the look of the bike, I recommend the Retro Grips. -DrewZilla

thank feck for youtubes playback speed.....waffles so quickly ; Thanks for the review though , deliberating on which ones to purchase
Nice bangle
My problem with the older version of Oxford HotGrips is that the rubber is turning to mush under the palm where it gets hottest after just a couple of winters. What to do??? The other problem of-course is that the fingers are still very cold while the palm is overheating. Controlling the temperature is difficult because there is no thermostat feedback. You have to crank it to 100% then bring it down manually while riding to prevent overheating.
RevZilla, will these heated grips interfere with the Gore Tex membrane on my gloves? I assume that if the temperature on the surface of the grips is warmer than the inside of my glove, it will therefore let water get inside the glove, right? Could you please clarify this? Thank you very much, love your videos.
Theoretically, that is a slight possibility, but in real use, we find it doesn't really happen. It's important to periodically refresh the durable water repellant used on the surface of Gore-Tex gloves, either by tumble drying or applying more DWR. Alternately, we find that with heated grips, you can actually get so much heat to your hands that they sweat, and we think this moisture from sweat is what some people are actually feeling, not water from the outside. -DrewZilla
@@RevZilla Super interesting and good answer nonetheless. Definitely you guys know what you talk about and you answer to our inquires promptly, gonna stick to your shop from now on.
You're welcome!
Do you guys know how to connect 2 wires with ring terminals together? Thinking of connecting this through SAE
We recommend connecting straight to your battery or tapping into switched power on your bike. -DrewZilla
I fitted the Scooter variant to my Motorcycle because I like the way the switch discreetly fits into the fairing and only draws 3A.
One question I have in regard to wiring it directly to the battery as per instructions is the automatic cutoff to prevent draining the battery if it is accidentally left on or switched on by a passerby as a cruel joke:
Does the scooter variant also have the automatic cutoff or is it just the larger models? Can't find any mention of it but Oxford grips are known for that so I'm not sure.
+CaptainFlagella The Scooter Grips do not have that feature, so you may want to tap into a switched circuit, so that they only function when the motorcycle is on. -DrewZilla
Alright, good to know, thanks.
Is there on/off button?
How do you ride in summer if there isnt one?
Yes, there is an on/off switch built into the controller shown on the table next to the grips. -DrewZilla
Which type is better for cruiser?
That depends on your bar size, but if you have 1" bars which are standard for most cruisers then these would be your best bet:

I hope that helps!

dont glue grips on. You cant take them off if you bend the bars or change bars. really stupid to even suggest superglue oxford.
Yes you can, just heat them up with a hairdryer so they are really hot and the superglue will release.
Those are molex connectors, not water proof...
I received today my heaterz from Revzilla. A friend of mine, a F700GS rider, asked me if they will work in electronic throttles? What would u recommend? Thanks and keep it up!
Yes, they should, as there is still a throttle tube on which to mount the grips. -DrewZilla
@@RevZilla Muchos thank yous. Check my channel. I just uploaded an unboxing, and I finished the install of the oxford grips 10 minutes ago in my f650gs single. Install video to follow❗👍Again, thanks for everything and keep up the good work❗🏍🍺
You're welcome! -DrewZilla
Ninja 300 ABS. I measured OEM grips approx 4.75 inches. The Touring model (listed at 4.72") is a mm short. The Sports model is longer, but trimmable, and still within spec according to Oxford. I'm just worried that the Sports model isn't as durable and will wear out quickly.
Anyone have experiences with Oxford heated grips on a Ninja 300? Touring or Sport version? I commute and put on around 9,000 miles a year.
Go for the touring version, as that one millimeter won't really make a significant difference. -DrewZilla
hey man,
I just ordered these for my ninja 300 abs. Did you ever get yours hooked up?
Yeah, I ordered the touring version. The clutch side is about a fingernail short. The throttle side is about 3 fingernails short. I don't notice any difference when riding.
Cadd
Helloo! i have kawasaki z800 /2016
what grips should i order for it? i do alot of commuting to work.
thanks
It really depends on the length of your stock grips, so be sure to measure your stock grip length first. The Heaterz Sport Grips can be 4.48" (trimmed) to 4.84" (not trimmed), while the Heaterz Touring Grips can be 4.33" (trimmed) to 4.72" (not trimmed). -DrewZilla

I'm looking to get some for my Cb500f any suggestions on which I should go for? Thanks
I recommend the Sport and the Touring versions. If you want really grippy grips, go with the Sport version. If you do a lot of long distance riding and want more comfort, go with the Touring version. -DrewZilla

Well I've gone with the touring now as I think they might go straight on without any needing trimming , I'm sure they'll have enough grip for what I need ,thanks for the reply
Nice bro from where indian
Well its easy till Honda decided to fit a BATTERY UNDERNEATH the GASTANK Thank you
please can you tell me can i use the grips for honda silver wing gt 600 and size my grips 12 cm
Yes, for the Silver Wing, I recommend the Oxford Heaterz Touring Grips. -DrewZilla

RevZilla thank you very much my brother ...... what the difference between this and sport grips
The main difference is that each version has a different texture. The Sport grips have a rough texture for more grip. The touring grips have a balance of grip and comfort. -DrewZilla
thank you On the answer
Which ones the shortest (in inches)?
The Touring grips can have the shortest length with a minimum cut length of 4.37 inches. Their standard length is 4.72 inches. -DrewZilla

Thanks man!
Hi which model can be used for a 2011 Husqvarna TE511. I understand the grip lengths differ.
Thanks in advance
Unfortunately, I don't have the grip length for your bike. I recommend you measure your grip length then compare that to the allowable range for each grip. For example, the Adventure Grips are 5.19" but can be cut down to 4.80" without damaging the heating elements. -DrewZilla

It voids your electrical manufacturer's warranty
Does it fit spyder F3 s?
Yes, they should fit your Spyder, as I believe the Spyder has 7/8" diameter handlebars. -DrewZilla
RevZilla yes #winning
Can sombady help me plz i installed the oxfords 2 days later made a slide whit my bike now my stear is fuckt up how can i remove the supergleu whit out fucking my oxfords grips 😭😭
Try using a very very tiny screwdriver or a pick to slowly get between the grip and the handlebar. Then spray some glass cleaner (like Windex) into the gap. That should hopefully loosen the grip. Be very careful, as depending on the amount of glue, we cannot guarantee it will work. -DrewZilla
HI please can you tell me if i would be able to put them on a 125cc?
it uses a 12v battery
+JOE MURPHY Even though your bike uses a 12V battery, your bike's small stator might not be strong enough to handle the extra electrical draw of the heated grips. That means you would be draining your battery faster than your bike can recharge the battery. Therefore, you probably shouldn't use heated grips on your bike. -DrewZilla
what to put on my honda transalp xlv 650 ?? anyone put it ?i think adventure are too big and sports too small
I think the Adventure version should be appropriate actually. -DrewZilla

Your intro is annoying. The rest is good.
No returns if one finds out it doesn’t fit on their bike…whaat?! In that case I’ll buy them from my buddy Jeff Bezos. He take all returns.
