I use a thin screwdriver, work it down the length of the grip and then all around the 'bar. once it's loosened it'll come off easily.

Old grips removed.
  Heated grips fitted, lovely and warm, though the right hand does get a bit hotter.   All rather easy and I'm a muppet when it comes to these things. Don't forget to take the bar end weights off first, if they haven't been moved in a while you might need a impact driver... |

Screwdriver works, but if they are old and hard, boil a kettle, pour and peel! If that doesnt work, resort to our mate stanley!

When fitting the new ones lube the inside with washing up liquid. it dries quickly but make the job 200000% easier.
