hey guys on my bike it seems to have the throttle grip lose,

not completely but its no where near as tight as the clutch side and i can turn the grip around,

is there a handy fix for this or am i looking at buying new grips ?

if im buying new grips how easy are they to install ?

thanks

Take it off and give it a good wash in warm soapy water. Then wet the bar and slide it back on. If it's still loose after the water's dried it's new grip time I'm afraid.

pull it off and spray some hair spray in the grip and slid it back on, once dry it should be nice and tight
