Looking at above bike. Dealer says no heated grips. I thought on the ES model they were standard? Anyone?
2023 S10 ES Heated Grips?
- Thread starter rpettet
- Start date
Either the dealer didn't know that:
1) All ES models have them.
2) It's an ES model.
Or, it's not an ES model. Which means it's not a '23.

I have never seen them. All controls from instrument and not obvious from grips themselves?
In '18 or '19 Yamaha discontinued the standard model and only the ES has been offered. The easiest way to tell the difference is the right-side panel that hides part of the electronic suspension. And may the "ES" that is on the front fender.
But as far as the grip heaters go, all settings are changed with the toggle switch and display. No visual differences, I think. So, if it is a '23, it's an ES and has grip heaters.

Like Sierra stated, all 2023 Super-Tenere's are "ES" models, and should have heated-grips as standard equipment.
The easiest way to tell if it has Heated-Grips is to look at the left (clutch side) Grip.
Look underneath. It will have a wire coming out of it, that should be clipped into a channel on the bottom of the switch-gear.
If it has this wire, then it has Heated-Grips...................
There are no controls that are obvious, unless you have access to the ignition-key.
If you do, and switch the bike "ON", take a look at the right side Display-Panel
It should look something like this. (pay attention to the Icon at the very top. It's supposed to resemble "Pages" of information)
If you press this Trigger-Button once, labeled "Menu" by your left index finger, it will switch to the Heated-Grips control screen, and also the ES Suspension controls menu.
The Icon at the top of the right Display-Panel will change to a picture of a Handlebar Grip.
The wavy-looking Arrows will show you which level of Grip Heat that is switched on (0-1-2-3)
This picture shows "Level 3" which is the highest level.
When you are in the Grip-Heater menu, you use the Up-Down Toggle switch to change the level of Heat that you want.
If NO wavy-arrows are shown, then the Grip-Heaters are OFF.
Press the Munu Trigger button to go back to the "Pages" menu. The Grip-Heaters will remain on whatever level you left them at.
Turning the bike off with the key will turn the Heated-Grips off, but the next time you turn the bike back on, the Heated-Grips will also turn back on to whatever level you previously left them at. You must go back into the Grips Menu to completely turn them off.

If it’s ES heated grips are standard equipment, the controls are a little diffIcult for a first time user to understand and your sales person probably doesn’t have a clue how to turn the grip heaters on or off, hopefully someone else at the dealership will be able to properly educate everyone.

Skunk Works did an excellent job of explaining Yamahas over complicated system for turning the grips on or off, once you get used the the system it’s not so bad.

Do the OEM heated grips work well? I have a non ES and was wondering if the cost is justified.(nearly $400 for the grips alone) Nice to see it on the display though.

Thoughts on Oxford Heated Grips;
Or, maybe try typing, “Oxford Super Tenere 1200 heated grips” into your Google browser and that could bring you some good luck. Many of us have been using Oxford heated grips on our bikes with great success and happy “toastieness” for decades
.They are much cheaper than stock replacements.

If it is a 2023, then is has to be an ES and have heated grips. Check the bottoms of the grips for the wires, then use your knowledge to your advantage. Talk him down in price because you will have to add heated grips... Go on your first ride and enjoy the heated grips and the money you saved.
My 2018 OEM grips work great!

Also, I am sure there is a thread on here detailing how to connect Oxford heated grips to work on the Yamaha wiring and screen menu. I’m sure someone will be along soon to either show the thread or to say that my memory is faulty!Thoughts on Oxford Heated Grips;

The OEM heated grips work EXCELLENT, the aftermarket heated grips also work excellent for a lot less money ! As far as the OEM indicator on the dash that shows what level of heat is selected it’s nice but totally unnecessary, I would actually prefer a simple two or three position switch for the grip heaters. The main reason I choose ES was because it included heated grips, so far I prefer the ES suspension over the standard suspension it seems to ride a little smoother but I only weigh 195 pounds. If or when the rear Shock ever wears out my opinion might change because it might cost a fortune to repair or replace it.

As Cycledude said, they work really well.
I have Oxford grips on my FJ1200, and the factory Yamaha grips on my XT1200
They both work about the same as far as the heat output goes................which is to say that they both work very well.
To complicate things a bit further with the factory Yamaha system on the XT1200, you can drill further down into the setup menus and assign a "Heat Level" (from 1-10) to each of the three "Wavy-Arrow" heat settings...............I think I have mine set to 4, 7, and 10
You might see me refer to them as "Bacon Strips" from time to time......................the Wavy-Arrows remind me of strips of Bacon, and the three levels of heat are "Light, Medium, and Extra-Crispy"

Thanks for that SkunkWorks. I wasn't really understanding anything that others said....and then you likened it to bacon and I now understand completely
