I had the same problem with Oxford grips on my old Aprilia, went for the new version, which just had the small control with +/- and 4 Led's for power settings and they packed up after 14 months so considered them an overpriced pile of junk. I had an extra problem though not only would mine switch off when they felt like it they would also switch on when they felt like it so nice hot summers day riding along and the grips switch on to 100% so I ended up disconnecting them.
When I asked the shop I got them from they said there had been some problems with the new units, Oxford basically weren't interested and said they were knackered and as the controller unit was sealed not a lot could be done.
I got the original push button/dial type Oxford grips on mine as they came with it and touch wood they are ok but when they do go won't be replacing them with Oxford as like others have mentioned they are over priced for what they are.
