Is installation difficult?

Installation is generally straightforward and similar to replacing standard grips. It involves removing old grips and the original throttle tube, then installing the new sleeve and aftermarket grips.

Troubleshooting

Throttle is sticky or not returning smoothly.

Ensure the throttle cable is correctly routed and not pinched. Check for any debris caught between the sleeve and the handlebar or throttle housing. Verify the grip is not interfering with the sleeve's rotation.

Grips do not fit securely onto the sleeve.

Confirm you are using grips designed for aftermarket throttle sleeves. Some grips may require specific adhesives or installation techniques. Ensure the sleeve is fully seated in the throttle housing.

Sleeve seems loose on the handlebar.

Double-check that you have the correct sleeve for your motorcycle model. Ensure no parts of the original throttle housing are missing or damaged.
