HEATING GRIP ELEMENT

[Ethan_Messinger]

I have a 2011 Yamaha Nytro XTX. One of the heated grips isn’t working. I believe the sled has YamaHeaters... what heated grips will work for my sled? I want to order ASAP. Please help my hands are freezing. Lol

If your sled really has Yamaheaters, call Rock. There should be a small black module approx the size of a cigarette pack under the hood someplace with a Yamaheater sticker on it. He has a wealth of knowledge on the Yamaha heated grip system. And if your sled has Yamaheaters on it he would really want to help you. G.B.

How hard is it to wire in? Or did u use the Yamaha connector ones? Or the general ones? The Yamaha heaters from rsi look like the connectors are for vipers, not nytros

Not hard to wire in. If you go with stock ones, they are plug and play. If you go with RSI you will have to cut and solder them in. The tricky part is to get the new element on without wrinkles, or it will soon fail. There have been some people thinking Yamaheaters are a type of heating element. They are not, it is a module that changes the programming of how the heater elements work. Regardless, if you only plan on changing the defective element you will have to install exactly the same as what is in there now, or one wont heat much. Rock taught me that.

I have had no problem getting the RSI element on without wrinkles, you do have to cut and solder but it's not rocket science. 3000 miles each on 2 different sleds no issues and hot hands. I know people swear by the Yamaheaters too but I didn't feel a need after the RSIs.
