It's usually the best to jerk off first, then yer more relaxed and have more hand strength to remove them.......maybe practice some first.

the kury web site use to have a video on this. I looked for it but it looks like they removed it. I recommend getting the manual. What I remember from this is you need to put something in the front brake lever to keep from damaging the brake lite switch.

Like Hockey said it's a 10 minute job. See this link for instructions.

Cut the left one off, the right side just loosen the 4 torx screws and pull the grip out and off. More than likely you'll have to adjust the controls on the throttle side any how since most grips are longer than stock. Adjust the controls so that the throttle will return on its own and tighten everything up. Oh and you may have to the controls on the left as well.
