Does anybody have Oxford heated grips installed on their bike? I just installed a pair on my Versys and they are great for the most part, but they seem to fluctuate in power. Ill be riding and there will be a noticeable drop off in heat on one of the grips but it will come back a minute later and it just seems to kinda keep doing this the whole ride. Ive mostly been riding in stop and go traffic around town so maybe that has something to do with it?

My opinion of him went pretty south when I heard some of his views on Brexit. I guess this confirms he's a nob.God damn it, I see Baron von Grumble is liking transphobic Katie Hopkins tweets now. Not like this...
Agreed with Ocho on his comment check voltage. My 09 Versys had drain issues also eventually changed the stator. I followed this guy back in the days his blog and the links inside break it down a bit further, I hope it helps.

Motorcycles are cool but mortgage payments are more important!
Sad to hear. In what Industry are you involved in?Is it just me or does that frame look really clean?
And yeah, I've pretty much decided on swapping out the Monster. I'm just waiting to see how Brexit shakes out as my employer is potentially fairly vulnerable. Motorcycles are cool but mortgage payments are more important!
Was that fuel going into the carburetor in the video?They may have a bit of a stuffy image, but the one time I took out that 1150 to tear some backroads, it did not disappoint. Not at all.
Yes indeed. That deserves a transparent cover!
If I needed to consolidate down to one bike it feels like that might be the one I land on. Only thing that doesn't excite me is the exhaust look.

Plus if the 1250 engine is anything like the 1200, you really need the sport engine modes!
Still a long wait until spring, but while I'm waiting I decided to jump on a good deal I saw for proper racing boots. Bought these for only 140eur (original price was around 350-400eur and most shops seem to sell them around 270eur now):
Can't wait to try them out next season.
Finally dropped my Versys. I blame an uneven surface, winter gear (inhibiting my movement), and my dumb self.
I was dismounting, couldn't do the complete dismount, bike inched forward in slow motion and I saw the side stand go back up while I had a leg still on top of the bike. I tried my best but still did a gentle drop. Not a big deal now that I've been doing some dirt and expecting to drop my bike all the time.
Gotta love crash bars and hard cases, don't mind the scratches on those.
I'm doing an adventure training next month, done by this fellow in OK who's coming to Houston. Been wanting to do some proper training for dirt, might even attempt the CO BDR this summer.
