You should push the cutoff end toward the outside of the bars. So if your hand slide off the bars the end wont snag on your gloves.

+dieselworld I'll try that next time.

You don't have to safety wire them up, but it does help when you are hanging on for dear life!

Thanks. Adding wire is pretty easy and can be done at a later time.

Yes, hair spray works as well. I've heard guys use spray paint also. If they eventually slip in use, try safety wire, they won't budge.

Nice job! I did not know that you need to use wire to secure the grips but it makes sense since you are rough riding. Good Video!

Nice Video, last weekend i met a driver on the Mx-track that said he use Hairspray to get the grips better on the Handle bar. Its slips smooth on the bar and fits good if dry. ( Sorry for my bad english - im from Germany :/ )

Are there any alternatives to carb or brake cleaners?
@l3dukas869 2 жыл бұрын
Can you only use the wire? Don't want to be buying both

This time around im gonna safety wire my glued grips because i hate that they start rotating and slipping, and grips are actually very important especially if you do race or go on tracks!
@HTMR 10 жыл бұрын
Yes, also prevent slipping if grip were to get wet.

Do you have to safety wire the grips can you just leave the grips alone once you got them on?
@HTMR 10 жыл бұрын
No, wire is not required. All they do is try to eliminate slipping/rotating grips.

weird question but I really need to know the year and make of that bike. or what front forks are on the bike. because I bought a bike with front forks on it from a different bike and the look the exact same as those.
@ILoveNeeps 9 жыл бұрын
+Steven Carter It's a 99-02 model kx 250. The same forks are used on the 99-04 yamaha yz125's and yz250's too, I have a pair of spare forks sitting beside me off of a 2000 yz250 and they look identical.
@stevencarter4297 9 жыл бұрын
Yeah I figured it out from your other vids too. Thanks man. Now I can rebuild my mysterious forks in my 1991 kx250!

What gauge wire do you use, and can you purchase at Home Depot, lowe's?
@HTMR 8 жыл бұрын
+bodeans59 I'm pretty sure it was .032 stainless wire like this: amzn.to/22tvH58 Don't know if the big box stores carry it.
@regoguns511 10 жыл бұрын

@HTMR 10 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can. Especially if they start to rotate on you.

The shrouds are black and number plates green. I think stock shrouds are green and number plates are white. FX graphics.
@katydeluca922 10 жыл бұрын
so you didn't buy one of the plastic kits? I'm thinking about getting the polisport or acerbic one but i havent talked to anyone who has it

help full hint , righty tighty, lefty loosey, this applies with wire too.
@HTMR 9 жыл бұрын
I guess it doesn't matter, but righty tighty feels more natural.

You're gonna need that knife to get that new grip off if you use glue. Get some safety wire pliers and safety wire at Harbor Freight.
@HTMR 8 жыл бұрын
Yes, getting them off will be fun. Even with glue and safety wire, they still spin a bit. Thanks for the Hf tip. I don't safety wire often.
