clarke 48 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Only left (clutch) is glued. Remove as above... if you would like pictures look HERE (it shows how to change handlebars but includes removing grips) Which one's did you get? I swapped my handlebars to RSTD handlebars and put on Kury ISO grips. Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andyrpsmith 0 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I found a very easy way to remove grip. Take a thin stiff piece of wire and bend a crank shape in the end. Insert wire down grip and then turn wire, it will work round the bar and release the grip all the way round with no damage at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FZR AL 0 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 sneak into the bedroom and pinch your lass's hairdryer, gently warm the grip up and use a twisting movement , the heat will melt the glue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ttaskmaster 368 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 If it's anything like my 650, the right grip will also be glued, but to the throttle sleeve not the bar. Be careful when prising this one off in case you crack the sleeve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
