soap and water

[Gixxer Lee]

Use soap and water. After install remember to wash them up.

[d0n]

eh

dint know it was that difficult to put such padding onto the levers

always had the idea that very easy to slide off and will kena stolen one...

[speedo]

Try to put a bit of cooking oil at one of the opening, a bit will do

 

For a day or two, the sponge will move a bit, after that it will stay firm on the lever

 

Tried and worked

[tealeaf]

soapy water. or compressed air gun at workshops. it grips once it dries up. try not to use oil based stuff such as wd40 as it will slip around when u depress the lever. takes sometime for the slippery to diminish too.

 

i have the exact same grips as u do

[d0n]

hrm

what's the cost of the grips?

[irvin]

so i will just need to soak the pad grips in soapy water or apply soapy water to the levers??

 

e pad grips i got it for free when i bought my M.Fizz helmet... dont know the exact price....

[ravenSP]

just soak it a little, push it inn and wait till it drys

Or alternatively you could try to use KY Jelly.....hehehe...hahahaha:sweat:

[gooffer]

It works perfectly, i sprayed alot of WD400 into the inner tube of the padding and pushed it into position on the clutch/brake lever. Thanks

[Murinus]

use liquid soap like your shower foam or dishwashing liquid... coat the inner surface of the padding with the soap and just slide it in... definately can go in

Mmmmm.........to make it more easy,

 

Try your friendly motorshop where you have any (bend until break) mechanic friends who will use their compress air guns to blow the paddings to fit.

 

Fast & Easy......Believe Me---i tried DIY once and i nearly feel like trashing the whole thing.(I mean the padding not my bike:D )

u nv tried wif soap n water? its easy wif soap n water. unless u tried squeezing it into the balancers.

[S4RevoVtec]

go bike shop, borrow the strong air gun like how our grip is inserted in.

[Aalex82]

be careful not to overblow wif the air gun..

the sponge may break apart..

[KeraKing]

last timei used 2t. haha but 2t leave a lot of residue.

and den after some time the spong became hard.
