Inmates, I have a 2012 and want to install factory heated grips. The Yamaha website shows two different grips, wildly different prices, when I ask for Tenere accessories.

Does anyone have the part numbers for the correct unit? Soliciting experience with them as well. Would like to utilize stock harness.

TIA,

Tony

Re: Factory heated grips

The part numbers for the 2014 and up are different than the Gen 1 bikes. That is why you will be finding different part numbers.

Re: Factory heated grips

On a Gen I bike. I'd go with aftermarket grips, because th ere is no real gain with the OEMs. On a Gen II bike, the OEM grips integrate with the OEM Switch Gear and Display which is really nice, the Gen I bikes do not have this.

Re: Factory heated grips

I've seen a lot of post about wanting to go with the OEM Yamaha grips because they're plug & play. The bottom line on that is they're going to spend an extra $250 to avoid 10-15 minutes on a simple wiring job. The Oxford Adventure grips are easy to install and do a great job.

It's not the additional wiring I didn't want to do... It's the clean look without an additional switch and the integration of the factory switch gear and display that I wanted the OEM grips on my GEN II bike. Since that's not how the Gen I bikes are, then yes, I'd go for aftermarket and save some $$$ on a Gen I bike.

The 23P-H29A0-V0-00 is for the 2012-13 kit.

There is not much advantage in using the OEM kit, as the stock "harness" on the bike side just provides power, ground and maybe a relay trigger wire. Everything else comes with the heated grip kit. The OEM Gen I heated grips kit comes with a large, bulky knob type switch that mounts on a plate in front of the bars. It's ugly & expensive, but it works. :D You can still use the bike's wiring harness for heated grips with any aftermarket kit too. Eastern Beaver sells pins and plugs if you want to use the stock wiring harness and plug aftermarket grips and controller into it. Eastern Beaver Link EB uses the bike's aux lights plug for their relay kits, but does have the plugs for the heated grips harness too. Look carefully at the Gen I kit to see how it's harness plugs into the bike and the grip controller. Examine your universal grip kit before ordering parts. The forum should have a thread about 2012 bikes and what each pin is, 12v power, ground, switched 12v, etc. I have the Aux lights pins written down, but could'n find my notes for the heated grip plug on the Gen I.

This is the OEM kit for Gen I bikes that will be plug and play - Ebay Link 23P-H29A0-V0-00

Here is a nice one for $95 - Partshark Link I notice that Yamaha is offering this kit instead of the old Gen I kits now, but I did find the old kit on eBay still.

The OEM part Number for the 2014-on kits is 2BS-H29A0-V0-00. Not that Gen I parts are typically starting with 23P and Gen II parts are starting with 2BS. 23P parts listed under Gen II bikes are items that did not change from Gen I to Gen II. 2BS parts are parts that changed for the Gen II.

Re: Factory heated grips

This is all very helpful. After looking at the OEM units I don't see much different than the Oxford, which I've used on other bikes to great effect. I'm going with Oxford and the Eastern Beaver wiring looms.

BTW - saw the PartsSnark unit (also on the OEM site). It specifically states NOT for the Super Tenere. Don't know why, but don't care to find out, either.

Thanks everyone!

Re: Factory heated grips

Also for Gen2 bikes it is cheaper to order the oem parts than to buy the kit. For some reason they charge way more for the kit that what it costs to buy the parts separate. Strange.....

Re: Factory heated grips

I thought I saw a thread on here that the Oxford grips integrated into the heated grip wires (Already on the bike) Work as the oem integrated grips. You don't use the Oxford controller but the bikes integrated one, via the onboard display.

Others will confirm, but the resistance is different and the OEM system does not recognize the Oxford heating elements. I don't think anyone has found an element that the OEM will recognize. You save around $100 just buying the parts instead of the kit for the OEM heated grips.
