Does anyone know if Yamaha offers the new style soft grips for the older single headlight electrical systems? The 01 SXR came with the hard black waffle grips. I would like to go with the softer grips like what came on the 01 SRX's. Not sure if the carry same resistance, heating characteristics etc. thanks

I find it wierd that yours has black grips, my 2001 SX600R came with the softer blue grips on it and I bought it brand new.

the new style soft grips will not work with the older electrical system. they will not heat up, some kid at the parts counter sold me the new style for my 2000 and they would not get hot and after talking to a good mechanic I found this out, tore em off, put the old style back on and they worked great.
