Oxford Hotgrips instructions v.8 switch - 09/07/12
3
Tools needed:
A course and ne le for smoothing the throttle slider tube
Glass paper for cleaning the handlebars
Cable snippers or pliers
Standard motorcycle tools to remove the seat, fairing panels and battery connections
C: Fitting and Wiring Instructions for Motorcycles
Your Oxford HotGrips are designed as a replacement for the handle bar grips already fitted to the motorcycle.
Hotgrips will t 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 tted without fouling the Hotgrips, then it is advisable to trim up-to the point
shown in the diagram below. This ensures that the heating elements do not get cut.
The left and right grip are different sizes:
One is designed to t over the left handlebar and has an internal diameter of approximately 22mm.
The other ts 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. 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.

E: Trial fit the Oxford HotGrips
1. Always “dry t” the grip to the bar rst, to ensure that the grip is a snug t before using the adhesive.
2. The HotGrips have a unique internal tube that can expand to t over the handlebar.
3. This makes them easier to t over handlebars that have inconsistent diameter bars due to manufacturing
tolerances.
4. If the grips are too tight to slide on with only gentle effort, do not force them on or damage may occur. Check the
dimensions of the handlebars again and adjust as necessary.
5. 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.
6. When sliding the grips onto the handlebars it is possible to twist them into place until they reach the correct
finished position.
