The handgrips on my 2000 SRX are loose> The only thing holding them on now is the rivet. What adhesive is used to retain them? Someone told me Yamabond is the right adhesive. Thanks!!
 
I've used contact cement before, it's a little cheaper than grip glue but yes grip glue works well. Maybe sand the handlebar as little first.

I recommend fixing the grip / get it glued down before you ride....

I just wrecked the element in a grip when one of mine did that and I just rode it anyways. Now it's toast and I need to replace. Doh!

My wife's finger nail polish worked great. I'm 6'4" 260, so they get a workout.


We used to use Aquanet hair spray on the grips (not heated) of our dirt bikes. Don't know if other brands will do, but that's what mom used.
 
Wrap the bar with hockey stick black grip/friction tape (1 layer only). Spray the tape with hair spray and jam it on (quickly). Get lined up and secure with the 3/16 rivot. Just did mine that way and rode all weekend and its rock solid...
