Installing Grips
#2
That's a good video showing you how. I did the black Iso's awhile back. Was stupid easy.
Left is really simple.
Right is a bit more involved but nothing too hard. Worst thing is keeping track of those brass ferules as they like to get lost.....LOL
If your butterfly in you throttle body doesn't seem to snap back like it did before, use some throttle body cleaner to make sure it isn't getting stuck on some oil or other sticky substance.
Almost forgot, the glue they include dries petty fast. Figure out where you want it BEFORE putting the glue on. Just dry fit to see if you like the way it sits vs. your right grip & hand position.

You don't actually have to glue the left grip if you don't want to, I'm changing my bars out for apes this winter so when I installed my ISO grips I just used blue painters tape on the left bar, I wrapped it up near the switch housing, slid the grip on and squared it up with the right side and clamped it down with the switch housing... doesn't rotate at all but I'll be able to remove the left grip when I swap out my bars...

Replacing grips is super simple. This is my first bike, I am NOT a mechanic-and I had no issues swapping the grips on my bike. For me, the most difficult part was tuning the throttle. I just cranked the throttle cables all one way, then backed off until the buttefly valve would lay flat with the throttle open. That was it. I spent more time figuring out how to take the air cleaner off (like I said, not a mechanic), than I did adjusting the throttle itself.
