All 2st Which wire to tap into for grip heaters

Got grip heaters for my WR300. Its all wired and installed except the "tap" for the power. I see a Yellow and Blue wire going to the Headlight. Can I tap into either or...?

I would tap into the yellow wire.

The blue wire is effectively ground. The yellow wire is hot.

If you actually ride much, i would throw away the little tap-in connector that comes with most grip heaters. It cuts part way into the wire, so of course the wire fatigues and breaks there a few months later. I would cut the headlight wire, strip both ends and splice (and solder) in the hot lead for the grip heaters.

FWIW, I use these connectors from Eastern Beaver.

yewah, just noticed how cheap they are.

OK so its all wired in Correctly. I was extremely anal about it and know its right. Just let it idle for out 5-7 minutes and didnt noticed anything with it turned on "hot" Should I in that time or do I need to ride it to noticed it?

BikeSDP,

I also use those and really like them.

You will probably need to ride to get sufficient power. Also, they do not create a lot of heat. Your hands on the grips will help.

Did you measure across them before conecting their wiring to the bikes to see if the circuit is complete?

Another idea is Hippo Hands. The sledheads and quadtards have been using them for years. My son and I use them for winter riding. They are great, even in -15C! !

I didnt have it grounded right. Works now. Thanks for responses. I can already say its awesome just riding around he cold yard. So now going forward all new bikes will include..skid plate,hand gaurds, suspension job,steering stabilizer and now grip heaters. Best dang improvment for the least amount of money.
