Waiting on a UPS delivery today on some goodies that include new grips.

I have installed lots of grips before but never on something with throttle by wire. I have a manual but just curious if there are any tips or things to be careful of.

 

Throttle grip is real easy, actually both are easy just take your time and pull the old one off gently. Make sure to get the TBW set back in its' place if it comes out. No cables to adjust is a big plus.

 

shim brake lever too

 

Go to the kuryakyn website and they have a video on how to do it. when you are done you will see it is much easier than bikes with cables

 

Most definitely...you'll see the front brake relay switch right under your lever - just shim w/small piece of cardboard & you're good.

Also be careful re-torquing the bolts on your controls - I snapped off a torx head and almost dropped the wrench on my gas tank (whew). I say cover the tank anytime you're working near & just tighten the bolts snug. Enjoy!

 

Very easy, you'll see once you get it off. Like stated above, shim the brake lever open a little so you don't break the switch. The hard part is getting the other side off, some people say use WD40 or something along those lines to cut the glue, screw that, use gas or something along those lines. Just get it off and you can clean it up afterward.

 

Ok glad to hear there is nothing to special with it.

 

Really simple.
On the throttle side use a flashlight to look into the new grip and you will see the gear.
On the clutch side, simply use a utility knife to cut away the old (one longitudinal cut) and peel it off. Use med grit sandpaper to sand the handlebar and clean with rubbing alcahol.
Do the throttle side first, so you can align the clutch side to match the throttle side.
The Kuryakin video is excellent!!!
