How do you guys mount new grips? Do you use glue or just push them on over the handlebars? My handlebars have cross hatches where the grips go so I would think they don't need glue but I'm not sure. Thanks.

 

Hairspray and some lockwire.

 

I just pushed mine on, they were so tight did not seem like I needed anything else.

 

Glue them on. I've never had mine move on me. But I heard that most of the MX riders use the wire too. It's a good idea, but then again most MX riders are not using hand guards which keep the grips from sliding off.

 

U can get special glue from the dealer or off ebay.

This is the pro taper glue on ebay:

i used the scott glue and it made me hate life for the 2 hours it took me to put my grips on but they will never come off, my buddy used hairspray and they are loose after 200miles

 

My left grip on the KLX is loose at the end of the bar...

When I started reassembling the yamaha, I bought some grip glue for it because I do not plan on using bark busters on it and I will most likely just replace the stock grips with something a little nicer and use the Renthal grip glue on them.

 

Weather stripping cement works well. You'll have to cut your grip off later when it's worn out, but wasn't the idea to get that sucker to stay on?

 

I would glue them for sure, definitely if you don't have guards. I just did mine and man the dealer glued the hell out of the stock grips. I took it in last year for that recall on the grips and I'm pretty sure they used some super glue. I had to grind it off with a dremel. especially that part on the throttle sleeve that has like a little lip where your index and thumb would be. Bastards

 

I use Protaper grip glue because it's a slimey version of CA (super glue). The slimey part helps them slide on easily. But act quickly because you only get 25 sec. to get them right.
