5. Be sure to act immediately to wipe away any excess glue with a dry cloth.
6. Allow the glue to dry for at least 24 hours before using. Ensure that the grips are firmly fixed in place before use.
Do not use if the grip moves and seek advice immediately.
H: Wiring Harness Installation
1. Find a suitable location to mount the switch and then take the wiring back to the battery.
2. Install the switch in a suitable position ensuring the wires from the grips reach without strain.
3. The switch may be mounted on a flat panel using the self adhesive mounting foam pad. It may also be mounted on
the metal bracket supplied (if the bracket is suitable for the vehicle). Please fit the foam pad between the bracket
and switch to reduce vibrations. The bracket may also be bent to a different shape if required.
4. On many bikes it is possible to fit the bracket to the clutch clamp as shown below using the longer bolts provided.

5. The loom is designed for ease of fitting. There are only 2 wires that need attaching to the motorcycles existing
wiring system. All other connections are through the multi pin block connectors and cannot be fitted the wrong way.
6. We recommend that the wiring loom is positioned away from existing wiring looms on the motorcycle to avoid any
possible electrical interference issues.
7. When the wiring is in position on the motorcycle, we strongly recommend that all connectors are protected with
either electrical insulation tape, waterproof sealing tape or heat shrink tubing (be careful not to damage the cable
when fitting heat shrink).
8. Both the negative and the positive battery connections are fitted with a ring terminal. This will allow them to be
bolted to the battery terminals. It is both preferable and the easiest option to connect the positive (+ Red wire)
straight to the positive (+) battery terminal so that the switch receives sufficient voltage from the vehicles charging
system.
9. The negative or earth (Black wire) should be connected to the negative (-) battery terminal.
10. If the switch must be connected to a switched ignition supply feed, please ensure that the wiring harness is
connected to main ignition cabling which can take the extra load of up to 4 amps. Problems are commonly found to
be caused when connections are made to horn or any lighting circuits.
Typical problems experienced could be:
- The switch may not come on
- Fuses failing in the fuse box
- Overheating of wires on the bike
- Indicators or lighting malfunctioning
If unsure, please contact your local dealer for advice before fitting these Hotgrips.
