I installed a set of Kuryakan Iso Grips today and found the info from a thread on this board extremely useful. Also the pics and details about the right grip removal from the shop manual great.

There does seem to bit a more free-play in the throttle now (amount I can rotate before any increase in engine speed). Does anyone else notice that? I counted the threads on both cables and re-installed exactly the same. My idle is right about 1000 RPM, there is not much change on that adjustment.

For the left grip, just cut/peeled them off and used the complete contents of the small glue tube provided. All seems fine there.

Sounds like ya need a slight adjustment on the throttle cable. Do you have the manual for your bike!

what torchmaster says

 

Glad you didn't lose the little brass stops at the end of cable, I dropped one took me an hour to find it. grrrr

 

yep picked up extra ferrulles i did.good thing because never did find the clip

 

Actually I got the cable and attached ferrule out of the grip slot, then when I let go of the cable, it sprung back and the ferrule took off. I carefully followed the ping ping ping of things it bounced off of and found it just below the voltage regulator on the ground. Averted disaster.

I tightened up the throttle cable adjuster about 4 turns and took up the freeplay. Described on page 1-42 of the shop manual, thanks.

I had to tighten up the throttle cable to take up the free play after installation too. About 3 threads worth.
