I need alittle help, I was putting in a new stop switch and when I tightened the throttle unit to the handlebar I overtightened and it snapped basically where the throttle cable goes and connects to thumb throttle yamaha # 8AV-83963-00-00. My question is how do the handle grips/thumb warmer come off? It looks like a rivet is there do I need to drill this out and it will slide off? I am only going to replace the plastic piece I broke not the grip assembly. Thanks for your help.

yes drill that rivet off and they should slide off with some effort..
any idea what size rivet it is, for replacement?

The grips are glued also. Easiest way I found to get them off is with an air hose. A skinny metal nosile works great. Just blow the air in from the thumb side while you work it off. Don't stick a screwdriver inside the grip to get it off or you'll destroy the heater inside.
