No, they don't have a digital display but they do have an LED indicator to let you know its on and heating. They have a thermostat so they keep a constant heat of 170 fahrenheit.
These tire warmers have an automatic on/off mechanism that allows you to plug them in and forget about them: they will automatically shut themselves off (so there is no chance they will overheat) and will turn themselves back on (so you don't have to babysit them).

I didn't ask about that, I will find out and get back to you. But if there is none, I will replace any sets off that stop working before 6 off my own back. I would expect they have a better warranty then that, but I'll check and get back to you. The only time I wouldn't replace them is if you leave them plugged in and heating with out them being on a tyre, the obvious damage is overheating and if they are doubled over they can burn through the insulation, the same is true with all warmers though.
I'll check anyway though

The tyre warmers have a 12 month warranty on them.
I finally got a reply from the manufacture directly.

The warranty does not cover damage from misuse, accident, negligent, inappropriate or improper operation, maintenance, installation, modification or adjustment.

The warranty is limited to replacement or repairing any defects arising under normal proper use and maintenance arising solely from faulty workmanship, materials, or design within 12 month warranty period.

So if it stops working and you haven't damaged it by rolling the bike on the ground with the tyre warmers attached, left them switched on without being on the tyre causing them to burn out, or used them on the wrong size tyre (i.e using a 190 set on a 140 tyre as that can cause them to burn out also) the warranty will stand.

The smallest I have is a 180 rear mate, the one in the picture is a 190 warmer on one of CIbby's spare rears, which is a 150 tyre. That gives you some idea of the size, but if the wamrmer is too big, it can burn them out. The set I bought back from the UK is a 180, I have used that on the VFR without any problems though, I think it helps being an 18 inch wheel, it has a bit more surface to cover.

Wow, never realised they were that finely fitted. 180 ones definitely won't work on 190s? Or would work at a pinch?

I don't think it will make too much difference when you talk about these sizes, but the better the fit, the better the warmers will work. they range from 80mm to 200mm
I took a picture of the two sizes so you can see the difference
