Just an FYI, for those of you with the OEM heated grips
My dealer installed grips died about a month ago at 5100 miles, just in time for the cold! I finally got around to having them replaced this morning under warranty and the technician discovered the cable had been worn through on the throttle side grip.
Strangely, this power cable is tucked into the throttle assembly (Yamaha heated grips require the use of a special throttle assembly), instead of hanging off the bottom of the grip like most of the systems I've seen. If anyone has a copy of the grip installation instructions this is clearly illustrated.
The tech seemed concerned that the problem would reoccur and is sending the failed unit back to Yamaha for evaluation. I've not seen this problem mentioned anywhere before, so hopefully this is a one-off occurrence.
Ride safe!
