Throttle grip removal

[texaninseattle]

I always find it easier to pour boiling water on the grips(i have an electric kettle), and then they just pull right off with minimal effort

For rubber type grips i use a little petrol before i put them on, not too much.
I guess it works the same as the hairspray.
To ger them off i leave them in the sun for a little while first.

A few drops of lighter fluid will do wonders.
Just put a small amount on the handle bar above the grip and it will migrate under the grip and loosen it.

the coolest part is that this also helps putting new grips on. Just lightly wipe the bars with fluid and the grips will slide right on. Let them sit for a little while ( over night at least) and the lighter fluid will be gone and the grips tight.

motor oil or vegetable oil.

start at the thumb side flare, and squirt your lube in there, then work it back and forth. It will slowly break any adhesive or stickiness from previous chemicals.

If you don't care about the existing ones, twist with channel locks.
