If you plan to replace the grips you can slice
them lengthwise with a razor blade and peel
them off. To remove the grips without cutting
them use a screwdriver to open a gap
between the grip and the handlebar. Spray
in contact cleaner to break up the grip
cement. Use compressed air to expand the
grip so it can be easily slid off the end of the
handlebar. Note the relationship between
the angle of the grip and the throttle tube so
that the new grip can be installed with the
correct angle.
Before installing the grips to either the
throttle tube or the handlebar, wipe down the
area with a brake or parts cleaner that will
dry without leaving a residue.
When you are sure the area is dry apply grip
cement to the bar or tube. Install the left grip
at an angle of your preference. Install the
throttle grip onto the tube with the same
angle as the original grip.

Always wear safety glasses when
using compressed air and never
point it directly at yourself or anyone
else.
