Maybe you could compare the RSI grip warmer current load to the stock grip warmer current load. Or, ... Bottom Line: If the RSIs are warmer, they are using more current.
It is entirely possible that the load was too high. Especially, if you are running any other electrical add-ons. Most of the reading I have done, in the past, about availability of extra power on these sleds, say it is very limited. Thats why they had to mess with the grip warmers in the first place. When they started adding FI, they changed the grip warmer arrangement and that was when they started staying cold.
But, if the wire failed where it goes into the stator bundle, then it may very easily been the vibration that got it or a combination of vibration and current load.

The RSI warmers do NOT work as good as my stock warmers used to when wired per the instructions from RSI and in series like my stock grips.
I bent up my stock bars and love the RSI bars so that is why I went with the RSI warmers too.
Resistance on my stock Yami warmers is just about in spec - 1.9 ohms each. When wired in series like stock, they have 3.7 ohms. The RSI warmers are 6.3 ohms each or 12.1 in series. If RSI warmers in wired parallel, they draw 3.4 ohms - almost the same as the Yami warmers in series. But that is how I had it when the stator went out (parallel). By my limited electrical knowledge, wiring the RSI bars parallel should not draw any more then the stock bars in series.... or am I missing something?

I am removing the stator cover off a 2008 and i have all the bolts out but it feels like its attatched by something spring loaded on the inside, whats going on ???
