Worn heated grips fix

[Dai wiskers]

A quick heads up if your grips are worn but still working it's a easy job to sort
all you need is heavy duty heatshrink tube [the sort used for fishing rod handles] available in many colours slip it over the original grips shrink with heat gun or boiling water job done, also it helps with the grips being too hot on high setting dont worry if you dont get a perfect fir at first it will shrink further with use

If one or more dont work

If you need to repair one grip or more use resister wire covered with insulated sleeving under the heatshrink joined to the original wireing the left one needs about .8 om[spellin] less resistance due to the insulating affect of the twistgrip about two meters length for the throttle side

Hope this helps dai
This is what you need

just realised you will need bigger than this but this is the sort you need diamond heatshrink tube the measurement given is usually accross tube when it's flat


Think i have put this in the wrong place feel free to move if needed

or you could just buy replacement grips for less than £15 per pair

I bought one of there to recover my Oxford grips that were showing signs of wear. You get enough for 2 grips.

Tried that i found it a bugger to fit and it perrished very quickly probably down to the weather we have here, but have found the diamond heatshrink tubing to be perfect it's a lot thicker than the usual tubing you will get, just be carefull how it's measured only this week i was caught out and bought the wrong size, some are measured flat and some are measured by the diameter

[South_Oz]

Yep I would agree with the perishing quickly, looks like I will only get 6 months or so out of a pair so might have a look at some heat shrink. Thanx

The diamond heatshrink's pretty grippy and lasts well

I have just measured the one i use it's 81mm measured flat 50mm diameter

Hope this helps Dai
