Does anyone have any tips on how to stop my grips turning, Sad if i totaly dry them out i cant get them back on!
They were doing it a bit before but now the left one is really bad, also the right one if its pushed up too far it makes the throttle stick!

Spray paint on the bar, then slid them on

Can be a bit tricky to get them off again.

You could try and wire them on, moto cross style.

Hair spray does work quite well to help them stay


Hope this helps

Assuming you can take them off, spray some wd40, hair spray or possibly deoderant in them then slide them back on... when the solevent (whatever you use) dries out it they should stick.

You can get GripLock glue-type-stuff, which, er, locks your grips in place Razz. Alternatively, as Stephen suggested, you can lockwire your grips on, which is an idea that I'm toying with Smile
