This helped a lot because I am a new rider and I wasn’t sure if the throttle was part of the grip and now I am relieved that it will be easier to change the grips than I thought
I'd love to see a video on the ProTaper Micro bar grips! There has to be a trick... They are so thin that I blow them out constantly and have tried so many different techniques. Especially the Throttle side!
Because if you plan on re-using the grips you are removing, it's harder to remove the WD40 from the inside of the old grips and they won't stick to the grip glue. If you aren't using them again, just use a razor blade.
I never use glue. Clear spray paint/clearcoat works way better and doesn't leave a big mess. Spray it into the grip, push it on, after it dries it's rock solid.
I haven't tried using safety wires on my grips but I do carry a kit just like the one you are using in my bag when riding just because you never know. I don't do any jumps or wheelies (yet) anyways
Everyone of them forget to tell you, make sure it’s not a grip that is permanently on to the throttle, some people buy the aftermarket ones that are like that and it’s not coming off you just got to get a new throttle.
If you dont plan on re using them just take a knife heat till its glowing with a torch and slice through them like butter. Just dont cut throught the throttle tube.
I'm guessing you still have your stock grips? Stock grips will usually come glued on but no safety wire. When replacing them, I would recommend using safety wire. Grip glue works well, but it isn't uncommon for grips to still move without safety wire. Or just go to a lock on grip and you don't have to worry about any of that.
Is it glued on? If it isn't, you can used compressed air to get it off but if it is, you will most likely just have to cut it off and try to scrape off as much of the rubber and glue that is left on.
Super glue will probably make them very difficult to remove but it's not a bad option. There are many options of grip glue that can all work just fine. I"ve heard of people using everything from contact cement to hair spray with good results.
Yeah that's what happened to me. I'm going to assume your friend used a box cutter, that's what I used on my old bike. I did the same thing, just destroyed the throttle tube. Use the method in this video, it doesn't destroy your grips and you don't have to worry about cutting past the grip and into the throttle tube. The term is called vulcanized, its usually Kawasaki and Suzuki bike which have them.
Cut the old off woth a razor knife. Idk why tf you'd pry the old ones off woth a screwdriver. You dont need grip glue. You dont need anything fancy. Just get a little butter cookimg spray and just make a quick pass down the bar. Super light coating. Not all sides. Just ine quick stripe down each bar end and you're done. Slide the grip on, you're done. Ready to ride the next day. Zero grip spin.
thank you so much for informing me im looking for grips for my kawisaki bayou 220 and i make my own money at a young age and i wasent looking forward to buying that stuff but should i still use grip glue?
@@demmcylol8166 yeah grip glue is relatively cheap you can get a small container that’s enough for like 6 grips total at a cycle gear store if there’s one near you for about $3. But also if you don’t wanna spend money on that, you can actually just use hairspray.

We're glad this video helped you out!
Thanks for watching!
Giving the grips a few cuts also helps them come off but obviously if you want to keep the grips you won't want to do that
Thanks for the vid dude ❤
Just watched a guy remove his grips with compressed air. That's the way to go! 👍
He helped me put on my new grips
Only use a single line of glue or that bastard isnt coming off. You can see 1/2 of the glue squeezing out in the video.
Buddy got glue all over 😂
Why would an obvious expert and skilled professional, such as yourself, be watching simple how to videos?

Not to criticize you but, contact cleaner? why not use wd-40?
Because if you plan on re-using the grips you are removing, it's harder to remove the WD40 from the inside of the old grips and they won't stick to the grip glue. If you aren't using them again, just use a razor blade.
tootallbob sure it is. You ever hear of brake clean?
Oil based solutions breaks the grips down
Because you'll oil the bars leaving a bond breaker between the glue and bar
Hair spary on bars and glue in the grip never coming off
Pro taper pillow top grips, you don't even need glue. They sit tight and don't move
Thanks for the help, But I don't think contact cleaner is needed, I just wasn't sure what to do with the throttle side of my bike.
Thank you this really helped

You're right, you never really know what could happen while riding! Gotta keep that safety wire close. Thanks for watching!

I have never used the wire. How important is it?
You can’t safely clear triples without em.
lol i hate using wire. glue is enough for me
Perfect.
Think you.
but its such a pain getting grips off after using grip glue, I always never had a problem with grips slipping but I would only use the wire.
When i swap the clutch side grip it never stays it still keeps twisting
Do you have any advice for me
@@tiukusti8990 put it on with hair spray, it will make it easy to slide on but will glue it when it dries
Am we take the wires off after a day
Can I do tht wire trick with a zip tie? I have a mini bike.
If you dont plan on re using them just take a knife heat till its glowing with a torch and slice through them like butter. Just dont cut throught the throttle tube.
Or just use a sharp knife?
Do u have to use safety wire the ones I have on don’t have safety wire

Wire us ridiculous
Hey man I CANNOT get my throttle grip off idk if I have any contact cleaner is there any other way?

@@rmatvmc tysm man
do i have to use the special bar glue can i just use gorila glue or somthing

Good god man. That’s a shit load of glue… and 3 ties?!? What kinda riding r u doing?!?
Do you have to have the safety warriors on
No they are not needed, it's more of just rider preference.
You can avoid all that and just buy ODI lock-on grips much better
Yes but if you have a race throttle kit you can’t use lock-ons
Is it fine to use grip glue without the wire?
You can definitely use grip glue instead of safety wire.
i only use glue. u can also use both if u want
Why no use compressed air? Instead of scratching the bars.... I know it won't be seen but still.
A lot of people don't have an air compressor but compressed air also works great!
Yo my friend kinda broke his throttle thing while removing girps because they were melted into it
Yeah that's what happened to me. I'm going to assume your friend used a box cutter, that's what I used on my old bike. I did the same thing, just destroyed the throttle tube.

Can I use Carb Cleaner?
I used carb cleaner and it worked just fine
WD-40 also works fine.
Rock mountain high🍀💪
Don’t think you used enough glue
I really need to replace my throttle tube lol. 3 fingers worth of grip isn’t enough
Cut the old off woth a razor knife. Idk why tf you'd pry the old ones off woth a screwdriver.

What if I have twist and thumb throttle
what kind of bike you got wtf😂
What the hell you riding boy
This did not help at all, i have the throttle tube off and ima just eating it off with a knife because the cut thing and the air gun didnt do anything
4:20 imma call her
😂
I BOUGHT THE WRONG GRIPS
@@drev1 lool
US: Nice looking
RM ATV: "Pulls out the wire and destroys them"...
Just another Day playing the Victim!!
WIRES? XD!
3 wires and a shit load of glue... 😬
What glue I needa get
You don’t have to do the wires guys. It’s not worth it
thank you so much for informing me im looking for grips for my kawisaki bayou 220 and i make my own money at a young age and i wasent looking forward to buying that stuff but should i still use grip glue?
@@demmcylol8166 Glue the grips always or use the hairspray/spraypaint trick. I've never used wires as I hate them

standard spray paint instead of glue - thank me later
@Magnus Fjerstad yep - its real slippery then it drys and sets tight. its a elegant solution - but wear gloves ;)
@Magnus Fjerstad you don’t sound too convinced … let me know how you get on. Super easy.

@@g000se99 i remeber some friends of mine using hairspray back in the day. Had the same effect with going on easy and then drying
@@g000se99 haha just wached the video you posted and saw he mentioned hairspray!
If you use wire, shame on you.
Wire is criminal 😊
Gotta watch out for the pointy ends of the wire wrap 😉
