After spending a night out in the rain somehow my accelerator hand grip is now lose as a goose, now it can spin around without giving any throttle.
do i just whip the bar end of and lather up bar with some glue? or is there a slightly more technical solution to the prob?
Smarty pants... since ages ago
Just take the rubber grip off ... water between the rubber and the throttle bar will make it slip. The rubber grip must have a hole in it and will probably need replacing. Usually they are not glued on the bars ... just the stretch of the rubber holding them firmly in place.Originally Posted by JR1
They are not that expensive to buy.

Or lock wire the sucker on. Done on dirtbikes but usually only on the non throttle side. The throttle bodies usually have ridges on them to stop this happening.

Araldite. Used on hot grips etc. Just don't get it on any 'turny' bits. I lockwire everything, but you really need a pliers spinner & thin stainless wire + some technique to avoid stabbing yourself with the end bit.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Even with the pliers and thin stainless lockwire I manage to stab myself with the stuff. Guess I'm gifted
