Replace Lock-On Grips

Step-by-Step Summary

1. Remove Bar Ends: If you have separate bar end plugs, pry them out.
2. Loosen Collars: Locate the small hex bolt on the lock-on collar(s). Loosen them until the grip slides freely.
3. Slide Off: Pull the old grip off. If it sticks, twist gently.
4. Clean Bar: Wipe down the handlebar surface to ensure no dirt or grease is trapped under the new grip.
5. Slide On: Slide the new grip on. Ensure it is fully seated against the end of the bar (or brake lever).
6. Orient: Rotate the grip to your preferred position (logos up, or specific ergonomic zone alignment).
7. Tighten: Tighten the collar bolt(s) to spec (usually very low, 2-3 Nm).

[!WARNING] Do NOT overtighten lock-on collars, especially on carbon handlebars. You can crush the bar.
