Some Notes on installing Oxford Hot Grips on a Pan ST1100.

Oxford Hot Grip

What:

1. The accessory voltage is rectified, not directly connected to the battery.

2. Attaching your hot grips directly to this doesn’t work.

Why:

3. When both grpis are attached the Voltage dips below 12 and the sensor turns off.

4. Attaching one grip and its all fine the voltage dip is less

Accessory Plug Location

So:

Wire up a relay direct to the battery switched from the accessory feed.

I’ve positioned the relay just below the main fuse box, on ABS/TCS models there will be another fuse box here though.

I’ll add a circuit diagram here soon.

After trying the engine running detection with the Hot Grips, I’m glad i wired the relay. As it only detects the running engine by voltage, so with a new fresh charged battery the grips stay on.
