01Gather the necessary tools and materials
- Before you begin, make sure you have the following tools and materials:
- - New motorcycle grips
- - Screwdriver or Allen wrench (depending on your motorcycle)
- - Grip glue or adhesive
- - Lubricant (optional)
- Having these items ready will make the grip changing process smoother and more efficient.
02Remove the old grips
- Start by loosening the screws or bolts that secure the grips in place. This can usually be done with a screwdriver or Allen wrench.
- Once the screws or bolts are loose, gently twist and pull the grip to remove it from the handlebar. If the grips are stuck, you can use compressed air or lubricant to help loosen them.
- Completely remove the old grips from the handlebar, ensuring that there is no remaining adhesive or residue.
03Prepare the handlebar
- Clean the handlebar thoroughly using a mild detergent or rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt, grease, or residue.
- If the handlebar is damaged or has rough edges, you can use sandpaper to smooth it out and create a clean surface for the new grips to adhere to.
- Apply a small amount of grip glue or adhesive to the handlebar, spreading it evenly along the entire length where the new grip will be placed.
04Install the new grips
- Start by applying a thin layer of grip glue or adhesive on the inside of the new grip.
- Carefully slide the new grip onto the handlebar, ensuring that it is aligned properly and fits securely.
- Once the grip is in position, twist and push it firmly onto the handlebar to ensure a tight fit.
- Wipe off any excess glue or adhesive that may have squeezed out during the installation process.
- Repeat the above steps for the other side of the handlebar if necessary.
05Allow the grips to set
- After installing the new grips, it is important to allow them to set and dry properly before riding your motorcycle.
- Check the manufacturer's instructions for the recommended drying time of the grip glue or adhesive.
- Avoid riding the motorcycle until the grips are fully set to avoid any movement or slippage.
- Once the grips are dry and secure, give them a test by gripping the handlebars firmly and ensuring they do not rotate or move.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can easily change the grips on your motorcycle and enjoy a comfortable and secure riding experience. Regularly inspecting and maintaining your grips will also contribute to the overall safety and control of your motorcycle. Happy riding!
