Grips superglued on - how to remove?

[JohnStMartin]

my left heated grip is superglued onto my old bars- how can i get it off without ruining it?

[Sid Squid]

Are you sure it's Superglue? Whatever glue it is, get a long thin screwdriver and carefully wiggle it under the grip, then rotate it and work it around the handlebar until it has broken the trip of the glue. If you don't have a suitable screwdriver, a length of stiff wire like a coat hanger can be used.

defiantly superglue. I put them on.

however, the grip separated from the body. oh well, you dont always have to hold on to the left side, right. i could put my hand in my pocket (JOKE)

Lesson learned i guess.

Acetone or very hot water are your best bets in future for superglue, otherwise, as Sid said.

In future though, if you're putting a grip on, use something like a spray of GT85 - it'll lubricate the bar to get the grip on easily, but when it dries, the coating it leaves is enough to keep it stuck in place, yet not horrendous to get off again after using the screwdriver method.

Often an airline will do the trick. Stick a screw driver between the grip and the throttle tube and then direct air to the gap. Watch out for flying bar end from opposite end:) That failing, use new can of WD40. Tube nozzle is easy to fit in the gap and new can should have plenty of pressure.
Good luck,
