REMOVING HAND-GRIPS WITHOUT DAMAGE

You'll need a long thin screwdriver with a shaft longer than the hand grip, and a can of spray solvent, such as carburetor cleaner, brake cleaner, etc.

1. Poke the screwdriver through the end of a hand grip at the very center.

2. Guide it upward and slide it in between the grip and the handlebar.

3. Push and twist the screwdriver through until it protrudes through at the other end.

4. Spray a little solvent into the gaps on both sides of the screwdriver.

5. Work the screwdriver all the way around the handlebar, under the hand grip.

6. Remove the screwdriver, twist the hand grip, and pull it right off.
