FAQs

How do I get the old grips off my dirt bike?

Start by carefully cutting or peeling away any grip glue or tape securing the ends. Then work a small flathead screwdriver under the grip edge and slowly peel it up and off the handlebar. Spray inside with WD-40 if they are stuck.

What is the best grip glue to use?

We recommend using a premium grip glue like Lock-On's heavy duty grip glue when installing Blue Protaper or other performance grips. This ensures maximum adhesion.

Do I need to prep the handlebars before installing new grips?

Yes, thoroughly clean the bars with rubbing alcohol to remove dirt, grease and residue left over from the old grips and grip glue. Lightly scuff the surface with fine grit sandpaper too.

How tight should the grips be?

Tighten the new grips firmly by hand. You want them snug enough not to twist or slide around when riding. But don't over-tighten to the point you deform or damage the inner bar or throttle tube.

Can I adjust the grip position once installed?

If needed, you can gently rock or twist the grips to better align the flanges or throttle assembly to your riding position and preference before the glue dries.
