Did you put a 7.5 amp fuse in the junction box?

The box has 4 x 5am fused circuits.

I know but users usually upgrade the fuse for heated grips to 7.5 amps as the 5 amp is prone to blowing.

Haven’t encountered that yet, the commuter grips draw 3.2 amp max so less than the 4amp ones I had on the CBF before which is set up exactly the same way.  Mind you I practically never ran the grips on max,  normally setting one or two out of five.      Wouldn’t hurt to pop a 7.5 amp fuse in I suppose especially as the box won’t be that easy to access where it is.  Can be accessed from below but a fiddly bastard of a job on the roadside.

The grips will have an inline 5 amp won’t they?

I would fit a 7.5 amp to that outlet to make up for the additional load from the cable.
