cheers wicky looks like its just packed in I've made sure all the connections where clean tried it from the split terminal to try in the left and still nothing looks like i'll after phone oxford up in the morning .
Must have only been used 2-3 hours in total so today i had one hot hand and one cold.
Going to fully charge battery but can not seeing that makeing a difference

I fitted some for my euro trip and they were wombles before we got on the bloody boat. Load of shite.

Need to get a new throttle tube when I replace 'em. They glue I used it like cement

[Rob]

Mine came with a dodgy control unit.

Got it replaced and they have been working fine for the last 4 or 5 years.

[chric]

glad its not just me then i did not use glue supplied its what you get at pounland for 12 tubes bit of a joke so i used the renthal glue i had.
but it must be grip as the left is fine then i tried with the right in the left and still the same?

Update-
Oxford are sending the supplier of them a new switch.They are then sending me the switch if that dont work a brand new set.
And a stupid question off them can you send the grip back it's glued to the bike sure i can
I'll slice it off with a stanley knife

[Rob]

I always use superglue.

It's not brilliant so if you twist it hard enough it will break the adhesion and come off.

Give Oxford a ring or send an email asking what they would like you to do

last oxfords i had fkt up on the throttle side.
i just got a set of daytona grips for the sp and theyre much better made.
might have to change the resistor in the controller though as id like them a few * warmer!

I use the Symtec heating elements stuck Direct to the bars and then you fit any grips you want on top of them.

[tony.mon]

If you route the exhausts through the bars via a flexible link pipe it'll keep your hands nice and toasty.

Although if you rev it hard it'll shoot the bar ends out like a howitzer.

Had same problem on mine turned out the control unit was swimming in water inside dried it out sealed up with tiger seal and been right as rain(rain gedit ) since..

[chric]

Nope still wombles was not the box was the grip like i said new set on way
even oxford said it was grip then changed there minds and sent a control unit

[VTRDark]

It's good they are sending you a replacement. They must realise there is a problem with them then. Is there anything you can do as a preventative measure to stop it happening in the future.
