Any recommendation for gen 2? Yamaha or Oxford?

A question. What would happen if you connect the Oxford (without self controller) in the wiring of the original Yamaha grips, will the Ecu recognize them? ..... I remember reading in a post that when a cable from the grips is cut, the grips disappear from the dash menu ..... when the cut is solved , the grips menu reappears ...It is like a small electrical signal going through the wiring of the grips. If it has a return, the menu appears and they can be controlled, if there is no signal return ... it is because there are no heated grips then the menu does not appear. it's just a doubtOxford effective & well priced, but you will have a separate controller on the bars & obvious wiring.
Yamaha grip warmers; way more expensive, but will integrate with the function display & settings menu. Plug & play too, IIRC for the non-ES Gen 2 bikes, with wiring located behind the tool roll, front right under the RHS cowling (A).
Price vs aesthetics - only you can choose. As you probably know, they come standard on the ES/ZE bikes.
Yes, they get pretty toasty. Much better than the Honda grips that I had on my AT.Hi Squibb
Thanks for the response. Are the Yamaha grips effective? I know Honda grips (for example) are pretty rubbish.

Thanks bud - managed to get a new set of own heated grips for £150 including delivery!Yes, they get pretty toasty. Much better than the Honda grips that I had on my AT.
No, different resistance in the grips.I have fitted Oxford Adventure bike grips to my Gen 2 SuperTen and I am pretty happy with them. They are better “bang for bucks” than the Yamaha grips, but I would be interested to know if it is possible to splice Oxford heated grips into the Yamaha harness and also if it is possible to splice into the XT1200Z and/or the XT1200EZ/ES?
Thanks for the quick replyNo, different resistance in the grips.
I've got them on the S10 as well as my FJR. Perfectly OK for me, but in fairness I'm too much of an antique to ride in the depths of winter. They give you a degree of customisation within the setting menu, through a 10 point scale, so can be dialled in to suit you/your glove preference.Hi Squibb

That is extremely useful info and i feel like it should be stickeyed or something so its not lost.In another S10 forum, I found this note. The author (casas16) explains why the gen2 ecu does not recognize the oxford grips to be able to control them from the dash. Explain that the difference in connection between the two grips makes the resistance values different. The oem heated grips, are connected in series ... oxford grips are connected in parallel. He connected the oxfords in series (without self controller), and the ecu recognized them. He also comments that only buy the oxford replacement grips ... since it would not occupy the controller and it is cheaper
