01 srx 700. my grips are starting to twist. i see there is a rivet holding them in place but they are twisting. whats the best glue to use??? thanks
this happened on my fourwheeler an they told me not to use glue incase i ever wanted to remove them again. however they told me to put a thin layer of tape. this made it snug an fixed the problem. not sure if it would work with the sled tho. just a thought

Use thin stainless wire and twist it tight. This is what we do on our motocross bikes. Not sure how good it'll work with heated grips.
I thought it was an allen screw that held it in place.

well its not like you're likely to re-use grips if you remove them.
I just used good ol epoxy resin when I changed my grips...you can easily cut off old grips, then use sandpaper to remove the hardened resin
Mines a 99 and had a rivet, i justed drilled them out

^^^what he said. that is the recommended procedure from yamaha and hot grip. slow cure high heat epoxy, not the quick cure.

Hair spray? I used to use Auqanet on non-heated grips. Stole it from my mom and she never suspected it was me that stole it but my sisters sure caught hell.
sis - "Maybe John took it mom"
mom - "What the heck would John do with hair spray?"
me - "yeah, what the heck would I do with hair spray" he, he.

I use Shoe Goo or liquid nails adhesive.Easy to find at local hardware store or Walmart etc.I've seen at my Menards a single serve epoxy pack for 39 cents.Some grips fit tight to start with and other's are loose as F@#!.The trick is to get them off without wrecking them meaning be careful of the wire elements inside.
