    Help.. Throttle Grip Problem!

    Need someones advice on what to do, Basically the the throttle grip just moves round so I'm guessing that the grip has come unstuck from the throttle bar which makes for some very interesting riding and gear changes.

    So what is the best way of re-sticking it and what do I use? plus I have heated grips fitted so does this cause more problems (mechanical NOB warning so step by step instructions a must)

    Regards.

    I think someone once recc Hairspray ! But as i aint got any hair i never use the stuff

    And you won't catch me askin for it in Boots !

    There is some Grip Glue (was it called that ? cant remember sorry) on the market - try checkin outthe M&P site for idea - you might find.... oh Sod it - its past goin home time so i'll do it for ya.....


    Renthal Grip Glue 25ml Code: 539633 £3.99

    Of course you have to order loads of stuff to make the delivery charge worthwhile but be careful... my Bank Manager has stopped my Credit Card bein used on that Damn site

    Maybe you can find similair in Bikeshops (or orderin wiv no del chg)

    My grips came with superglue.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    It's ok. He thinks you never stop going on about bloody motorbikes and can't talk about anything normal.

    Oh and I used superglue to stick my oxford heated grips. Push on the grip very quickly because it can stick before you get half way there! And it's a pain to get off again. I know. it helps to use plenty of glue.
