08' Heated Grips on the MTX

i have the same problem with my 08 gt. went in to the dealer and they looked at me like i had 10 heads when i told them it`s becoming a problem with alot of sleds. i will be going back to get the kit for the fix but i dont think i`ll be paying for it.
 
I got my harness the other day and it works great! Only cost me like $29 to have it shipped to my door. They offered to do it for free, but I would spend that much in gas to get there and back. What a difference. The harness will work with all bars with the J hooks from '06 on.
 
Same problem with my '08 APEX LTX, you would think that our dealers would get updated on such a important part of comfort on our sleds...I've been complaning to my dealer since 3 weeks and keeps telling me that YAMAHA have no issues...

Well I've got news for my dealer tommorow!!!

Thanks guys for the info!

So they WILL fit '08 APEX no problem...I sure hope so!!!

My dealer will have a harness for me tommorow, hope its going to improve the HEAT! he said the kit is only worth $10.00 and the part # listed is for a PHAZER

He still hasn't gotten any BULLETIN about any UP-GRADE, anyhow hopefully this will work :rocks:

I believe Yamaha uses the same harness for all the new sleds. If you have the hooked bars it should work. I have Apex bars on my Phazer and it worked.
 
I'll let you know...I should have it this afternoon pending weather, we're expecting 10" to 14" of SNOW in the next 24hrs LET IT SNOW!!!

Thanks "johnny"
 
Well guys I installed my WIRING HARNESS KIT friday night and rode over the weekend 500kms and YES it does make a difference, I'd say 75% more HEAT genarated, I can now feel the heat threw my gloves!!!

A big THANKD to "yel_low" who gave us the TIP!!! ;)!
 
my mtn lt ha sgreat hand warmers. The'll get too hot on high. On a 20 degree day I have them at the 3rd bar and my gloves are nothong special
 
I just picked up my 08 Phazer Mtn on Friday, and warmers don't work worth sh#@. I had to swap sleds with my wife as her hands were freezing, she rode my Nytro MTX which get real hot! I will have to call the dealer I guess, I also had to reverse the ski rubbers too (like I did on my Nytro) as they were backwards - sled was real hard to steer!
