hey guy simple question I got new grips for my T3 and dont know how to change the twist throttle side? I have never messed with the twist throttles before. I have a online manual but has nothing about the grips.

Cut them off with a razor blade. Or grab the inside edges of the grip, put your foot against the fork and pull... hard. Personally I just cut them off. There is no need to remove the twist throttle itself. I've also used dykes to cut off the grip in a pinch. Start at the inside of the grip and cut until you get to the outer edge or enough of a cut to pull the grip off.

If you have compressed air, just stick the nozzle under the edge, hold onto the lip, and the air will lift the grip right off the handlebar/throttle. Installation is the same process.

I got it, I took the whole twist throttle assembly off and the grip is held in my the bolts that hold the throttle onto the bars. Pretty simple but I didnt want to tear into it and have problems with the cable or something else but was real simple.
