sounds like you do have a twist grip on. take the other grip off and trade them in for the right ones. if thats not an option, you can try gluing and tie some safety wire around them.....not sure how much that would help though..............

No, I doubt you got twist throttle grips... But just wrap one or two layers of duct tape around your bars, and slide the grip over it... Thats what I did, it works fine and can't even see the duct tape.

put some electrical tape on backwards with the sticky side up and then put some zippo lighter fluid on the tape and put the grips on..

make sure you got the right grips. both the grips should have the same size hole. if one is big and one is small, they are for a dirt bike. get two that are the same. then go to the hardware store and get some safety wire. go home hit the bar and inside of the grip with wd-40 so they slide on easy. two pieces of safety wire per grip. one towards the inside and one towards the end. wrap it around. pull the strands even. grab the ends with pliers and twist it up til it reaches the grip. cut it off when about 6 twists are left in it. then fold it up into the grip. youll never feel it . and they will stay on. fur shizz
