Removal of throttle handgrip

[xmod1]

We purchased the Vista-Cruise throttle lock. My question is how do you take the handgrip off. We thought soapy water and a screwdriver. Do we just try harder? We are still going to use the stock handgrips. Thanks

Screwdriver and WD-40 works just dandy. Be careful with the screwdriver to not crack the plastic throttle sleeve.

If you have an air compressor, use it between the rubber and sleeve to "inflate" the rubber while you're pulling it off.

You should be able to install it without removing the grip.

Thanks for your input. I will give you a call.

My throttle side handgrip came right off with a screw driver, it's like it was never glued on. My left side grip took a little more effort, some WD 40 and some wiggling of the screwdriver. There was obviously a lot more glue used on that side. There was even some residue left on the bar when I took the grip off.

Reason: The throttle side has a series of raised "male" surfaces on the plastic sleeve designed to mate with "female" slots molded into the rubber grip.
