Got a new set of traction grips and promptly dropped the throttle grip, breaking the throttle return spring tab. The old throttle grip is good and the grip came right off but the new grip feels like it is pretty much welded on. Anyone got a trick to get the new grip off in one piece?

A blast of compressed air under the grip as you're pulling on it or if you don't have that try some WD40 and it will come off.

i'd go with the wd40 but it may be blued on, as was my original grip on the other side, once removed clean off the wd40 and either use hair spray or alcohol, to help it get in and let i try it should work well.
