Hi guys
My left heated grip is rotating about 1/8" on the handle bar and driving me nuts. Just feels loose. Is there a way to tighten that up some how or that how they all are??
Thanks

There are two torx head screws that secure it to the bar. One or both is probably backed out. You have to roll back the rubber grip flange a little to get to the screws.

Hey thanks Turk! Which end should I roll back? Or both ends? Should I take off the end cap first?

The flange to roll back is next to your thumb side, somewhere around the 11 o'clock and 5 o'clock postiion when looking from the bar end weight

Mine just started doing this. Will check to make sure it is screwed down tight.

The end nearest the clutch perch.

And, each of those 2 torx screws has a hole that it goes into, it doesn't just press against the outside of the bar.... so make sure it's properly lined up....

Just wanted to thank Turk for the great advice! It was right on. No more wiggle in the grip.
Thanks again Turk!
