Heated grips, vests, gloves, socks, and the like are all available for motorcyclists. See [[Heated cold-weather gear|this article]]. Given the [[Alternator Information|electrical limits]] of the 250, you most likely won't be able to run all of those, but even just one or two of them can make a difference.

Heated grips generally get good reviews from those who install them. Heated vests can add warmth back to your core. Some say it is like riding in 10 or 15 degree warmer temps. If you only need a little more edge, many swear by their heated gear.

====Visor fogging====

If you are going to seriously ride in the winter, you may well encounter one of the banes of cold weather riding: visor fogging (or, in really cold riding, frosting). Simply cracking the visor open is the simplest solution, but it does cost you some heat. Also, if you have clunky gloves or floppy generic handlebar mitts, it may not be as easy to fiddle with things on the fly as in lightweight summer gear. [[Defogging the visor|Many solutions exist]].
