The grips can be removed in several ways: First solution, if the grip is loosely attached to the handlebar, simply lift it and pull it outward; second method, use an air compressor to blow compressed air under the grip; the last method is to use alcohol, slightly lifting the grip, apply the alcohol and twist the grip. The throttle grip is larger than the other grip, usually 24 mm, while the other is 22 mm. To fit the new grips, use plenty of alcohol to help them slide on easily.
