So i have these:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROXTER-WINTER-MOTORCYCLE-MOTORBIKE-HOT-HEATED-BAR-GRIPS-/390129703475?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item5ad58ada33

And they have been fine since i fitted them but suddenly playing up.
yesterday i removed the left grip as it had come unstuck, stuck it back on and today the RIGHT grip isnt working properly. It comes on and off, loose connection im assuming.
Put a voltmeter on the tamiya connector from the main control unit, and its getting power, even wiggling the connection and its still getting power, so the issue must be the connection on the grip side.
Any idea what i can do? Ive sprayed WD40 down the tamiya connector thinking it might have got corroded but it looks fine, left one works perfectly...

Eat some porridge in the morning, ya big jessie.

In all honesty? I'd bin them. If its a fault contact in the grip, you'll have to tear them apart to reconnect it. Pity, they look like the same type as Oxford grips just cheaper, shitter ones.

Oxford are cheaper than these odd make - as mentioned throw away and get an oxford pair - least you have 6 months to do it.

Nevermind they seem to be working againn now, sprayed ACF50 in the connections and it seems to have worked. If it happens again ill take the control unit apart, there could be a loose connection there.
They are budget yea, but work very well.

I have the same ones - they come with a year's warranty, my control box went slightly iffy but it was all sorted very quickly - the seller is very good and will exchange it for you if there's a problem. (Assuming it's still <1 yr)

Oxford make both (they make lots of other brands for company's that you would never realise was them also). I would guess they sell their latest/best stuff under their own name and only give support/warrenty with the Oxford stuff also.
