revive old grips ?

[colink98]

Hi.

My bike came with a set of heated grips that look to have done most of the bikes 50k life.

the throttle grip doesn't feel to have a lot of grip and this means i have to hold the grip tight to maintain a good grip.

is there a neat trick to revive or liven up the grip ?

Cheers.
C.

Wintergreen oil is supposed to return a degree of flexability to some plastics.

Be careful handling it though.

Put new grips on?

Not expensive and easy to do.

Oops, missed the 'heated' bit.

Some heated grips do let you replace the actual grip bit, but most don't unfortunately.

Yep, should notice them.

You can always take them off and see if you can work out why they're not working and stick them back on come winter.

In really cold conditions, combining with muffs works extra-well.
