Be careful and read before you buy this.

This grip could not fit to your motorcycle. Even if the product describes you can use this, it may not be on your bike. I got one cuz it was supposed to fit my bike but it didn't. so I asked it seller(the brand Kijima) and they replied that 'This item is not compatible with Eliminator 450. Eliminator 450(US imported version) and Eliminator 400(Japanese domestic version) are completely different motorcycles. So I asked about the dimensions of the handlebars to official Kawasaki global and they replied 'The diameter of the EL400's handle bar is same as that of EL450's.' I sent this reply to the seller and got the reply 'The compatibility information on our website states that it is universal. Therefore, some processing may be required. Please understand that if a customer buys the wrong item due to a confirmation error, we cannot accept returns / refund.'. When I received this message, I gave up to claiming it and decided never to buy anything from Kijima. View detail

Easy installation and effortless!

I was worried about the wiring, but it was easy even for me, an amateur, to install the unit as there was no need to separate the wires. View detail

Usage with Z900

[How is it used?
Winter Gloves are used and the temperature is around 10 degrees Celsius.

Was the one you received as per Image?
Once I ordered a used product from Amazon and the product itself was initially defective.
I knew what it was like.

Was the installation difficult?
I'm a beginner who doesn't know much about Wiring and such, but I'm relying on the information available on the Net.
I managed to put it on.
Many Z900Rs have them on, but I think I spent more time researching them because not many people have them on their Z900s.

If only the wiring can be routed, installation should be easy since there is an Attachment that fits the Z900. 。
D-UNIT of DAYTONA's Waterproof was used to connect to Battery.
When D-UNIT is used, the power supply is also turned On and Off with the key On and Off, but since the Bullet Terminal is a Small type on the D-UNIT side, an additional Bullet Terminal was purchased.

How was your experience with it?
At first, I tried the max. power on, but it didn't warm up quickly and I thought it might not be very warm.
After installation, I actually ran and used the product and found it to be more than warm enough even at mid-Level.
Also, the Grip diameter is almost the same as the OEM, in fact, it seems to be a little smaller.
Throttle assist became loose and misaligned.


[Included Parts:were they on?
It was attached without any problem.
It has Aluminum Tape on it, but the adhesive is not strong enough and the tape has come off.
I didn't need it because the Handlebar bites enough without it.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
The grip diameter is small, which is a good point, but there is not much cushioning and the grip feels hard.
Throttle turns without any problem if Attachment is attached.

Other items that would be helpful
Point of installation and hang/.
If the required power is not available, it may turn off or not get warm, so it would be better to secure power supply with a Fuse Extraction Unit such as Emon or similar.

Availability and clarity of Instruction Manual
Instruction Manual is included.
In terms of ease of understanding, I think it is better for beginners to watch videos and work with them.

Notes/.
If it is defective, it will cut out no matter how many times you replace the Fuse, and the Fuse is 4A, which is not sold very often, so if it cuts out, suspect it is early.

Items to buy together
The tip of PlusWiring is not attached to anything, such as Bullet Terminal or Coupler.
You will need to purchase an additional Connector that is appropriate for your Motorcycle.

Opinions and requests to Manufacturer
It would be nice if the power switch would not return to the On side or the Off side once the power switch is turned on with a push, but since this is a Type that changes the Level adjustment by the number of times the Button is pressed, I thought it could not be helped. View detail

Replacement from HondaOEM Product

The Honda OEM grip heater that was installed on my ZX14R was used for 6 years, so I chose this product as a replacement.
The Axel side was not so difficult to install since all I had to do was to select a matching ThrottleAdapter. I tried to insert the clutch side as it was, but when it was about halfway in, it stopped moving, so I pulled it out and used a paper to shave the handlebar and the inside diameter of the grip a little.
Wiring is completed by connecting the power wire and the grounding wire to the coupler branched from the position lamp already installed.
The Instruction Manual shows the color of the wiring connection for each manufacturer, but it is safer to check the wiring diagram for the model of car to be installed.
The temperature can be adjusted by 5-stage adjustment, but Level 4 was sufficient even when the outside temperature was 9°C during the daytime in January.
I can't stop using Grip heater once I use it, and I think KIJIMA products are the best from a cosmetic point of view. View detail
