ElChingonCabron Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Okay, so I'm trying to install a throttlemeister and need to remove the bar ends. Right side was cake but the left is like WTF?!?! I pushed on the metal tab per the service manual and the damn metal ring clip came out but not the rest of the internals! So how the hell do I get that sucker out of there?!? Already feeling like a dumbass....who here has the obvious answer for me to feel even more like an idiot? :fingers: Thanks!

Mikey Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I used a lubricant like wd40 etc. Then pulled with needlenose pliers. I just cleaned it off before re-insertion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrich Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 What I did when I put my Barender locks on was to take two small flat head screw drivers and slowly work it out a little at a time. The internals have two rubber grommets that hold it in., as you prolly saw on the other one. When its out far enough, pliers time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanb Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 You call me up, say you are ready for your screen that's been in my car for 3 weeks, want to clean my "dirty hole" as you like to call it, and I'll take a look at the bike.

ConqSoft Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 My Throttlemeister came with a "tool" to remove the internal bar weight on the throttle side. Popping it out with that was a piece of cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainchaser Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 My Throttlemeister came with a "tool" to remove the internal bar weight on the throttle side. Popping it out with that was a piece of cake. Having just put my Throttlemeister on today, mine came with the same metal 'tool' or shaft to help pull the weight out of the throttle side. The other (left) side you just unscrew the end, put the new end on. (ie: Dont try to pull the stuff out from the bar) I absolutely love it. I did have to cut off the end of the grip though as they were just a tad too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
