STEP 3

Sand the clutch side handlebar surface with 80-100 grit sandpaper or emery

cloth to remove any previous glue or rubber residue. This provides a pristine

metal surface for the new adhesive and the roughness provides the adhesive

a better surface to adhere to.



STEP 4

With an ammonia based cleaner or similar degreasing agent and a clean rag,

wipe off the exposed handlebar and the inside of the grip to remove any

contaminates. Take the supplied tube of adhesive and squeeze a good

amount of glue onto the inner side walls of the clutch grip. Rotating the grip

while applying the glue will help distribute it evenly. Make sure you get the

glue all the way to the end of the rubber insert in the grip.

Slide the grip onto the handlebar far enough so the rubber
flange will locate in the channel in the switch housing when it is
re-assembled. PIC 2 and PIC 3

The adhesive supplied sets up ALMOST INSTANTLY in the
absence of air. There is enough time to slide the grip into place,
but ONCE IT STOPS MOVING, IT CANNOT BE ADJUSTED.


STEP 5

Be sure the orientation of the rubber pads on the clutch grip

match

the position of the rubber pads on the throttle grip.

The Kinetic Grips

have a directional pattern to the rubber pads. Make sure you are

matching the correct pattern on the clutch side to the pattern on the

throttle

side.

In one smooth motion, slide the grip onto the handlebar and

into position. Rotate it back and forth slightly as you slide it on to help

distribute the glue evenly and keep the grip from “plowing” the glue up

against the switch housing. You must work quickly to get the desired

position before the glue dries. (Approx. 6 seconds)


STEP 6

Once in place, squeeze the grip firmly to press the rubber against the bar

and hold for 15 seconds. Allow at least 30 minutes to cure before operating

the

motorcycle.

Ensure proper operation and clearance before

operating

the

motorcycle.

STEP 7

Re-assemble the switch housing halves and secure them with the screws

removed in Step 1. Ensure that the rubber flanges locate in the channel in

the switch housing. Tighten the clutch control clamp if it was loosened in Step 1.


It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that all of the fasteners (including
pre-assembled) are tightened before operation of the motorcycle. Küryakyn will
not provide warranty coverage on products or components lost due to improper

installation or lack of maintenance. Periodic inspection and maintenance are

required on all fasteners.
