i haven't ridden in a few weeks, but when i got on the bike today, the kuryakin iso grips are as sticky as fly paper. don't know what to do about it. anybody else had this problem?

try rubbing alcohol? i have iso grips on my jap bike and i've never had that happen

 

what were you doing the last time you were on it.

 

never heard of this one. R U storing it with other chemicals in the area? or done U have something on Ur hands that get on them.
Mine usually get slick and I have to use a degreaser to make them a little sticky.

 

Try some Vinylex on them.

 

There's no reason for this at all. No chemicals or anything like that near the bike. I don't normally wear gloves, and when I do they are soft leather. I am baffled.

 

I normally just clean mine with a little warm water and mild detergent then dry them off before putting it up. Especially if I know I'm not going to be able to ride for an extended period of time.

 

Maybe it's the fact that you don't wear gloves. I always wear gloves. I like the skin on my hands.

 

How old are they? Do you get a lot of sun where you are?

I noticed some chafing and stickiness on a pair of ISO's I had. I guess its a combination of use, UV/sunlight, chemicals (cleaning agents, polish, etc), and the specific compound they use. ISO's feel a lot like silicone.

I tried different things to get the stickiness reduced but never really able to get rid of it completely. Figured someone was telling me it was time for new grips.

 

can you just replace the rubber part of the grip?
