refitted without the need to trim the grip. If the end of the Hotgrip does need to be
trimmed to ensure that a bar-end weight can be fitted without fouling the HotGrips, then
it is advisable to trim up-to-the point shown in the diagram below. This ensures that the
heating elements do not get cut.

The left and right grip have different internal diameters:
- The left grip has an internal diameter of approximately 22mm.
- The right grip fits over the throttle slider tube and has a diameter of approximately
25.6mm.
E: REMOVAL OF EXISTING GRIPS AND PREPARATION
1. Remove the existing handlebar grips.
2. Clean the left handlebar ensuring that the bars are smooth and free of glue and
residue.
3. When the right grip is removed there is a nylon throttle slider tube underneath. Any
raised areas should be smoothed off to ensure that the diameter is a consistent
25.6mm. This often involves filing off the raised ridges that were formed on the
throttle.
F: TRIAL FIT THE OXFORD HOTGRIPS
1. Always "dry fit" the grip to the bar first, to ensure that the grip is a snug fit before
using the adhesive.
2. Do not pull the grip wires or use that part of the grip as a lever when fitting the grips
to the handlebars as damage may occur
3. If the grips are too tight to slide on with only a gentle effort, do not force them on or
use a hammer to knock the grips onto the handlebars as this will crack the internal
plastic tube.
4. If the left grip is too tight, check the dimensions of the handlebar and ensure there is
no glue residue. If the right grip is too tight to fit over the throttle tube, firstly check
the tube is a consistent diameter, file any ridges smooth if necessary.
5. If the HotGrips still do not slide on easily, use a file and gently remove excess rubber
