Faulty Oxford Hot Grips

[Muppet]

All I know is my Oxford Hotgrips work fine, bloody great on a cold day, call me a soft cock but I'm the one with warm toasty hands while you can't feel yours!!!!

Reading this is great - "Just wire to the Headlamp relay" I think"fuse" works better in this statement than relay. Anything bought on trademe has a full manufacturers warranty and just return it to the poor bastard you have just crucified for 6 weeks and he will honor the "Kiwibiker" warranty. I have seen some writers of this crap purport themselves to be experts in the motorcycle field.

Quite likely what you mean is, make sure there's a fuse inline somewhere. The hotgrips come with a fuse in the battery lead, and unless you throw that lead in the bin and buy a new one, it's your only option.

mine work really well too - love 'em! Balu's work, although the first light apparently doesn't come on when he turns his on. Maybe that's 'cos he installed his first before doing mine, and worked out how to do it best by the time he got to my bike....hehehehe.

This is a known fault with them. I have had three controllers go exactly the same way. Take them back to the shop, or else throw the controller in the bin and hardwire the grips directly to your headlamp relay. Include a connector near the bars so you can unplug them on hot days.

I used to work for the Oxford importer in NZ.
There was a faulty batch of controllers manufactured a while ago.
Heaps & heaps of returns & warranty claims.
The importer is Northern Accessories in Auckland, but I don't think they will deal with the public, but you can try
Good luck

Northern Accessories aka Triumph NZ another of your most likely dealers/suppliers who will leap to help Kiwibiker members.

Whats this about" ICE CREAMS"

You must be confused.
Triumph used to share a building with Northerns, but they were not in business together

They may still share a director ??. Info from some years ago.

Na, that all turned to custard long ago.

It's a old term intended to be derogatory. Many KB idiots think using it causes some distress so they poke it about. What they don't realise, from the beginning they were set up to be laughed at, not the other way around. So we have a chuckle at our success every time they attempt to use their poor wee sad riddle. Tragic isn't it. Stupid cruiser riders.

actually they were, but it has ended about 10 years ago, Triumph and Northerns are now completly seperate,
