    Stop grips from moving

    1)Get some pvc glue or a good all purpose cement. ( If it does not have a swab for spreading the glue a q tip will work) 2)Spread it all along the inside of the grips.3) Slide the gip on the bars let is sit over night. 4) Wrap safety wire around both ends of the grips and the middle. Use vice grips to twist it tight or a safety wire tool. 5) Cut about 3/4 of the twisted part off. 6) Bend the rest of the twisted part up in to the grip use a hammer to counter sink it so that you dont not catch your glove on it.

    I also found that a little bit of gas works really good too. I put a little bit of gas on my grips on my Lakota, and I wanted to switch the new bars I got for it to my YFZ but I couldn't because there was no way I was getting those grips off.

    ive heard to wrap your handle bar with scotch tape, and pour rubbing alcohol on it then put your grips on....and the rubbing alcohol will erode the tape or somethin, and just leave the glue from the tape, and it will hold your grips

    One thing you all need to keep in mind when grips are concerned, they are all NOT created equally. Using a glue that is not compatable with the grip material can lead to big problems. How big? Lets just say that yours truly had smoke rising off his grips Thats right, they melted.


    Hair spray works great, as does 3M on most grips. If someone doesnt post a thread with good details in the next few days, i will.

    i take some carpet tape (sticky on both sides) and wrap it around the bar in 3 places where the grip will go, put some sort of solvent (gas might work, or possibly a little water, alchohal) and slide it on. i have to cut them off when i need new grips.

    Using good safety wire and a safety wire tool does the trick for me.

    Yeah, I use grip glue, or hairspray. But both of those without safety wire still spun on me. Add safety wire, and you'll NEVER have a problem(at least I never have, and for some reason, I always twist the ***** out of my left grip while racing)
