Sweet, easy to get the grips off again? Brake cleaner?

Should work, but in most cases you'd be putting new grips on - so cut and peel is usually quicker and easier!

Havent read right thru cos I know the "correct" answer!
Hairspray!
Yep....you dont need glue or silicone etc...the grips are a close fit and just need a light fixative that wont gum anything up.
Wet the throttle sleeve/ bar up with a squirt of mums Shartzkopf, slide on the grip and then go watch "On any Sunday" to let it set!
Doing the thinking for you

the problem with using hairspary is when it gets wet it just lets go. Otherwise yes its very good. It helps them slide on too.

yeah mate, block off the open end, if open-ended and give it a couple of squirts, aiming for the length of the tube rather than trying to spray it out the other side (if that at all makes sense)! then slide on.easy

Ill give this ago as well, the wire i use is just a pain.

As noted earlier, you should glue (or whatever your preferred substance...) and wire the grips, it's pretty standard procedure and a must if you are riding in wet or muddy conditions, google any mx site, reputable grip manufacturer etc, they'll all advise the same thing:
