C: Fitting and Wiring Instructions
Your Oxford HotGrips are designed as a replacement for the handle bar grips already fitted to the motorcycle.
Hotgrips will fit onto most motorcycles that use 22mm or 7/8” Ø handlebars. The grip has an open end to
allow for the bar end weight to be refitted without the need to trim the grip. If the end of the Hotgrip does need
to be trimmed to ensure that a bar-end weight can be fitted without fouling the Hotgrips, then it is advisable to
trim up-to the point show in the diagram below. This ensures that the heating elements do not get cut.
If you do not wish to cut the grip, it might be possible to put a metal washer or spacer on the inside of the
bar-end weight to give additional clearance.
The left and right grip are different sizes:
One is designed to fit over the left handlebar and has an internal diameter of approximately 22mm. The other
fits over the throttle slider on the right handlebar and has a diameter of approximately 25mm.
D: Fitting Procedure
1. Remove the existing handlebar grips.
2. Clean the left handlebar ensuring that the bars are smooth and free of glue and residue.
3. The bar should measure a consistent 22mm diameter.
4. If the HotGrips do not slide on easily, check if there is any excess rubber on the inside of the grip
which may have seeped through the expansion slot during manufacturing. If so, use a long file
and gently remove the excess rubber with the edge of the file.
5. When the right grip is removed there is a nylon throttle slider underneath. This may need to be
removed and any raised areas smoothed off to ensure that the diameter is a consistent 25.6mm.
This often involves filing off the raised ridges that were formed on the throttle slider.
