Riders can easily be bored by the look, plan and feel of
their motorbike parts and gears. New look animates them.
It also gives them an unusual hype. This is the reason
why they keep on changing them from time to time.
Most, if not all of the riders know how to repair or
maintain their motorbikes. Changing tires, fixing the
stand up to its cleaning, washing and polishing – you
bet, seasoned riders knew it!
Some of them are learning it in an easy manner like for
example in a course or through a gaze or another rider.
But no matter how they obtain their knowledge the truth
is that said knowledge will always redound to their
advantage.
There are several parts that are easy to replace. Grips,
for example are good instance. It only involves only
some steps and here they are:
1. Ready your new grips, rubbing alcohol, hammer,
socket and WD-40.
2. Remove the bar end. Be cautious with its head
and threads. If they are already damaged, better replace
them as well.
3. Pull the end of the grip and spray on the
WD-40 to loosen the contact. You can remove the grips by
twisting and folding its internal edge. Keep in mind
where the original location of the internal edge.
4. After the grip has been pulled, clean the
handle with rubbing alcohol. Be positive to remove the
glue from the Clip-on. Also, lubricate the Clip-on with
rubbing alcohol and slide the new grip. While sliding
it, do some twisting procedures. Do this while the
alcohol has not yet evaporated otherwise it will be
harder to twist.
If the new grip material will allow, you can also use
oil in its place of alcohol.
5. To tap the new grip into position, use the
hammer and socket. Ensure that it fits well and will not
damage the bike's operation. To test it, roll the
throttle to full-on and let it snap back. You can ride
around to be used to its firmness.
Lastly, you can enjoy your bike's new look and new grip! |
