    I know from experience that it will suck your battery dry..........the low battery detection and protection does not work......go on then,try again and leave it overnight.......

    I have them wired to the ignition on the VFR and to the battery on the ZX14. Both are the new models and they will indeed suck a battery dry given half a chance. The 14 has been a victim of the vampire grips.

    VFR has had no issues at all, but I prefer the old buttoned style to the new, it's nigh impossible to see some of the LEDs on the new ones, whereas the old ones had extra bright LEDs in them.

    New ride is fitted with Oxford grips, in readiness for colder conditions later in 2011.

    My Oxford grips have failed and appears to be a fault in the controller. The grips were fitted 16 months ago. Can't find any info on warranty, if there is one?
    Here for the ride.

    My yet to be installed sports grips contain a 2 year warranty form - so I guess yours will be covered too.
