OK decided to have a good long ride out today to check out the rewire of my grips. Went to switch the bike on and ..... nothing. The battery was dead. The only thing I'd changed was wiring the Oxford grips direct rather than via a relay.
That's it. I'm sick of these crappy grips. It's not worth buying a new controller because I'm just throwing good money after bad.
I put the bike on charge and while I got an initial charge in my battery so that I could jump start the bike of my car I changed them back to being through a relay. When I tried them, of course they no longer work - ffs. Anyone thinking of buying these piles of crap don't waste your money. I've in effect only had a few days of use out of them and they're done. I can think of better things to waste money on.
This is a tamed down rant compared with what was going through my mind waiting for the battery to charge. Before anyone says anything, the battery was new a few months ago and this is only the second time I've had a battery almost fully discharge, the other was due to Oxford grips.
Thinking on it's pretty much everything Oxford branded I've bought that's prematurely failed in one way or another.
