Product Information
Full details
The Pro Taper Lock On Half Waffle Motocross Grips in Black are designed for motocross riders seeking enhanced comfort, control, and easy installation. Their key benefit is a secure, slip-free grip without the need for glue or safety wire, ensuring durability and reducing rider fatigue. A potential consideration is the specific half-waffle design, which may not suit every rider's preference for grip texture. This system features a unique core design that minimizes diameter and provides relief areas, improving vibration damping and impact absorption.

FAQs
Do these grips require glue?
No, the Pro Taper Lock On grips utilize a clamp-on system and do not require grip glue.
What size handlebars do these grips fit?
These grips are designed for standard 7/8" handlebars.
How do I clean the grips?
Clean the grips using mild soap and water with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the main advantage of the 'Lock On' system?
The Lock On system provides a secure, slip-free grip that is also very easy to install and remove without adhesives or safety wire.
Can I use these grips for general street riding?
While designed for motocross, the comfort and control features can also benefit some street or dual-sport applications, provided your handlebars are 7/8".
What does 'Half Waffle' refer to?
'Half Waffle' refers to the grip pattern, which combines a traditional soft grip on one side with a waffle pattern on the other for enhanced control and feel.
How does the dual compound construction help?
The dual compound uses a softer, tackier material for comfort and grip, and a firmer material in key areas like the ends to resist crash damage and wear.
Troubleshooting
Grips feel loose or spin on the handlebar
Check that the clamp bolts are securely tightened. Ensure the correct handlebar diameter is being used and that the clamp is fully engaging.
Difficulty installing or removing grips
Ensure the handlebar and throttle tube are clean. Loosen the clamp bolts completely before attempting to slide the grips on or off. Never force them.
Premature wear on grip surface
Inspect for any sharp edges on controls or levers that may be causing friction. Ensure you are not using excessive force or abrasive cleaning agents.
Throttle sticking after installation
Verify that the grip on the throttle tube is not contacting any part of the throttle housing or cables. Ensure the grip is fully seated and the clamp is not interfering with throttle movement.

- Slide the grip onto the throttle tube (right side) and clutch lever side (left side) of your handlebar.
