If you didn't care about it, just cut down with a stanley knife.
As it seems you do - if you've got an airline, get a blower in there to help free it off.

Presuming not that either, try some wd40 squirted in as far as possible at either end (use the straw).

What G said. I normally get one of those long thin screwdrivers in there to make a gap, then spray brake cleaner in the gap which undoes all the glue. Might not work if the grip has been stuck on with super glue, though.

Edit: is that an Oxford heated grip? If so they have a solid inside part and you'll struggle to get anything under it. I normally crack the glue by forcibly twisting the grip the wrong way for the throttle side.
