I,m looking for different bars and maybe more comfortable hand grips on a 2005 s-40
How do you remove the hand grips?

Pull. O.K., still won't come off? Use a little rubbing alcohol, now pull!

I used a screw driver to run up under the grips to brake the glue loose and then they slid right off. Remove the end caps first, they are just glued on as well.

I am getting tired of these grips & am about ready to give it a whirl. When I do, I hope using the airhose & the smallest nozzled blowgun I have will puff air under & let it slip off. If not, Ill have to get physical widdittt.

Pipe wrench off the end caps then a little nail polish remover and they slide right off.

Here's a trick that has worked for me in the past:

Get you a can of contact cleaner with a little straw on the nozzle. Work a skinny screwdriver blade under the grip. Lever the screwdriver blade up a bit and shove the straw for the contact cleaner into the gap you've just made. Blast a spurt of contact cleaner in there. Move the screwdriver blade a bit and repeat until you can twist the grip loose.

IHTH someone!
