How-To: Install Grips

Removing your old grips and replacing them with fresh ones might be one of the easier jobs on your bike. But are you doing it correctly? Yamaha Motor Australia Race Technician, Darren Thompson, shows you his techniques that'll save you precious time and money.

lol, "obviously this person's mate chose these for him." I thought the turquoise grips suited the bike quite nicely! Really sets it off from the others, hehe. Nice video. Too bad I didn't have a can of spray paint when I was installing my grips last night. I used copious amounts of alcohol (on the grips, not on myself), but that job was super difficult. I got some nasty blisters on my hands from working the grips onto the bars.

What brand and make/size is the wire your using? I have a terrible time with the wire breaking before it even gets snug around the grips. Thank you.

Compressed air works best to remove the grips.

How come no one uses an air compressor and nozzle to blow air under the grips to slide them off? Works every time for me on BMX and motorcycles.
