FAQs
How do I install the Blister Buster Grips Donuts?
Simply slide the donuts onto your grips, ensuring the padded area covers the flange of the grip. No tools or adhesives are typically required.
Will these fit all types of grips?
They are designed for grips with a flange. Fit may vary slightly depending on the specific grip model, but they are generally compatible with most standard motocross grips.
What are they made of?
They are made of soft, durable neoprene material.
How do I clean them?
Clean them with mild soap and water using a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Can these help with general hand fatigue?
While primarily designed for blister prevention, the added cushioning can contribute to overall hand comfort during long rides.
Do I need two sets for a full handlebar setup?
No, each pack comes with two donuts, which is sufficient for one set of handlebars (left and right grips).
Troubleshooting
Donuts feel too bulky
Ensure you have the correct orientation and that the donut is positioned snugly against the grip flange without obstructing the throttle.
Donuts are sliding around
Make sure the grip surface is clean and dry before installation. Some users may apply a small amount of grip glue sparingly to the inside of the donut for extra security, but this is usually not necessary.
Reduced throttle control
Re-position the donut to ensure it does not interfere with the free rotation of the throttle tube. The donut should provide cushioning without impeding movement.
