I would like to introduce you to some of the warm equipment that was submitted to the Webike community's "MOTO HACK! Warm Equipment Contest" campaign!
Introducing the warm equipment of Fazer Black, who is riding YAMAHA FZ1 FAZER.
Vehicles and self-introduction
[Brief self-introduction]
I've been riding motorcycles for 30 years and love to go from street riding to touring, circuit-riding events, motorcycle events, and motorcycle accessory shops.
Bought the FZ1 FAZER in August 2017.
Attention to warm equipment
Here's how to divert the genuine Honda Sport Grip heater to make cold winter driving more comfortable.
[Directionality]
If I could ride all year round, I'd go out on my motorcycle! I'd love to ride my motorcycle in the winter, but it's so "cold", my hands get so cold they can't move! If you wear thick gloves, operability will be poor. After all, if you're looking for comfort, a "grip heater" is a must!
Touring and the track!
[The point where you feel warm.]
If you make it Hi, your palms will warm up faster.
Products
1. HONDA
Item Name: Sport heated grips
It is not a special product, but it is a wiring harness that can be used.
Radio pliers, nippers, binding bands, insulation tape, parts cleaner, glue, rags, and vehicle service manual. Convenient to have: Digital tester (voltage, resistance, continuity, etc.)
[Installation]
Remove the grip that is attached. On the accelerator side, you need to remove the accelerator wire, so when you remove the box, you remove the accelerator wire stopper. The clutch side is bonded together, so insert a thin tip into the edge of the grip, apply parts cleaner, and remove the grip by peeling off a little bit of glue. For wiring, check the wiring in the service manual for the wires that will be energized when the power is on, and branch out from there. Fit the wire stopper on the grip heater axel and attach it to the handle. Apply glue to the other grip and attach it to the handle while checking the switch position. Connect each wire to the heater's harness. Switch on and check the operation.
[Benefit]
The thickness of the grip is close to the same diameter as the normal grip, allowing for a comfortable grip. When the heater switch is pressed and held, the lamp on the heater switch blinks three times (strong) and turns off and on repeatedly. To adjust the temperature, press and hold the lamp switch that is lit, and the lamp will blink twice (medium) and turn off and on repeatedly. When the same operation is performed again, the lamp blinks once (weak).
By repeating this operation, you can switch between high, medium and low according to the number of times the lamp switch blinks. The battery voltage monitoring system automatically stops the power supply to the grip heater when the battery voltage is low, thereby preventing the battery from dying.
[Disadvantage]
The point that I don't remember the last temperature control.
[Comments, etc.]
In fact, I like the natural thickness of the grip when I put it on and it's just as good as the normal grip. The design is GOOD! The control switch is integrated with the grip, so it's simple and easy to operate. Start the engine and turn on the grip heater while it is warming up. To some extent, when it gets warm, you can set the temperature control to medium (lamp flashes twice), which is convenient because you can operate it according to the situation. Once you use it, you can't let it go.
Warm equipment that I'm aiming for in the future
Warming equipment that can be worn on the body, such as handlebar covers, vests, etc.
