Sticky Kuryakyn Hand Grips

Post by gtomei »



Hi all:
I'm new to this forum. I've read many posts and I think it's great! Very informative, well organized info, and just a great group of people! I live in Northern Ontario, Canada, so our riding season is over until at least April. I just purchased an 03 GL1800 and barely got the chance to ride it at all before the nasty weather rolled in. The only issue I noticed thus far is the sticky aftermarket hand grip...will not roll back all the way on its own when I let go of it. I'd like to try and fix it if possible.
Is there a way of pulling it off without damaging it? I know Kuryakyn provides some very powerful glue with their grips. Can it be lubed without removing the grip? Or am I going to have to buy a new pair?
Anyone with any experience with this kind of thing I would sure appreciate some advice.
Thanks much.

It sounds as if you have a problem with the throttle cables and not the grips. Try adjusting the adjustment nuts on the right handlebar first. Then check to see if the cable has been kinked somewhere.
