It depends on the gloves you are wearing. How cold it gets and how receptive to hot/cold you are. I have heated grips on my last 4 bikes. I have had all of them all the way up at different times. The dealer can test them to see if the grips are up to specs. It is under warranty so why not ask next time you are there?
****....read the fricken post before you comment....
WTF?

Mine work great, on a ride in the 40*'s the other day, I rode with them on like 5, it felt so good I nearly blistered my palm (ya, dumb but it was chilly)...
With that said...They do act goofy. By that I mean, Sometimes they will cycle what would be considered normal, ya know, on-off-on-off keeping a constant temp. Then they cool off and seem too cold, then kick on and get too hot.
I have no idea how or what controls these grips. It's obviously a thermostat/thermister but whoever designed it must work in the same department as the Infotainment R&D.
Bottom line though...I LOVE them AND the heated seat!

A lot depends on the actual temperature you are riding in.
Spring and fall I am running mine at maybe 2 to 3 at tops. When I get on into winter and the temps are in the high 20 and 30’s I can have them at 6 begging for more!
The gloves you wear make a difference as well. I recently both a really nice pair of winter gloves from Revzilla designed for heated grips. They are water proof, block the wind on the back of the hand and allow the heat to come through on the palm. I’ll find out in 10 days if they were worth $160.00.
