Re: move the grip
My new grips where blocking my clutch lever from going all the way in so I could not start my bike in gear ,had to rotate the grip so clutch would engage.

Re: move the grip
Thank you for that. I don't think I've ever seen a grip that could interfere with a clutch lever.

Re: move the grip
I know it sounds out there but I read on hear about it and that's how I knew what to do ,the rubber on the ISO grips would not let the grip move all the way in.

Re: move the grip
The micro switches on the clutch lever should close (make contact) long before the lever is pulled in to the grip... Within the first 1/3 of the lever travel the switch should be disengaged... I'm thinking you have aftermarket levers on your bike that don't have proper positioning of the tab that operates the micro switches...

Re: move the grip
They look like factory levers to me but you could be right.

Re: move the grip
Is the bushing worn ??? If so, they are replaceable...
