I'm planning to remove stock hand grips of a 2007 FJR, does anyone have reccomandations on how to do it? It appears that Yamaha puts glue between the grip and the white plastic. Is there an easy way to remove it?
If you don't have compressed air, get a small can of WD-40 and slip the little red tube under the grip as you hold the grip away from the handle bar with the screwdriver. As you squirt a little oil, continue to work the long screwdriver around the handlebar under the grip. Squirt and work the screwdriver until the grip slides off the bar.I removed mine fairly easily. Here's how:
-Remove the bare end weights.
-Use a small, long scewdriver (I used my old CBX carb adjuster) to slip under and around each grip to break the adhesive bond. It's not too tough.
-Use a compressed air chuck inserted under the grip and slowly work it off the bar. The compressed air creates a small cushion to allow the grip to release from the adhesive and slide off of the bar/throttle tube.
Good luck!
+1 jab the little red piece in squirt, twist, repeat. Make sure you clean it the wd40 off with alcohol before you put the new grip on.If you don't have compressed air, get a small can of WD-40 and slip the little red tube under the grip as you hold the grip away from the handle bar with the screwdriver.

Don't forget to put a towel under the grip to keep spills off your paint; and wash the inside of the grip thoroughly with soap to remove all of the oil before reinstalling.
