I have installed the clutch( yes, the easy side) but how do install the throttle side.

The kind I purchased are the ones that go ontop of the throttle tube.

Can anyone help? Tips, anything, come over and install it for me for free and a pat on the back.:whistling::smoke:I have parsly:oh yeah:lol

I was out with a group the weekend and two of the guys were talking about this. One had just put on new grips and he used a suggestion the other guy gave him. He used hairspray. I guess you spray the bar and it lubs it up enough to slide on the new grip but than its sticky enough so when it drys it helps hold the grip in place. Made sense to me but I never tried it just heard 2 guys talking.

I would take my bike to the qualified staff at Suzuki of Brampton, and talk to the parts guy while the techs did the work. HAHA always nice to see you brother.
