Any precautions or preemptive actions to take before installing a new pair?

I have this issue as well with my sportline grips. Everything seems to function fine except for going "past the stop" how do i reset the stop or adjust this.
Yup thats exactly like mine... Dunno what the answer is yet, but when I work it out I'll let you know... Any precautions or preemptive actions to take before installing a new pair?
...they're about 8-10mm shorter in length than your stock grips..... so you gonna need to either: a) move the controls outboard to meet em. b) cut the bars. c) find something to fill the vacant 8-10mm of handlebar (I put my Class Retros there  ). |

Already on top of it  Got some Oberon Street Fighters to replace my Rizoma Reverse Retros, so I'll be grinding and shimming the controls. Only slightly concerned after reading this thread... just not enough to return the grips. |

Found out what the problem with mine was.... The removable cam that comes with the grips had worn 2 very small grooves in it near to where the throttle cable nipple attaches, allowing it to rotate beyond its proper idle-stop position. Presumably the wear was caused by contact with the aluminium throttle cable housing.... I replaced the cam with another of the same type and no more rotating past the idle stop point Its a disapointingly cheap bit of gear though, especially given what Rizoma charges for this stuff. |

... even a less soft plastic one might be more durable... when my new cam wears out I'll need to find another Suzuki buddy to rob ...lol

I just installed a set of the sporlines last night. As many who have already posted here, I was very disappointed with the overall quality of the throttle mechanism. The stock design is so much better. I was expecting a lot more from Rizoma. On top of that, they're not very comfortable.

Looks like I won't be switching out my grips anytime soon. Thanks for the heads up on the quality guys.

I too have the sliding forward past the idle point...and found it was the soft plastic of the cam (2 groves) I had the importer give me a new cam....same deal....
any ideas on what I could do to build up the cam and strengthen it.....remember that 'liquid metal' that came in a tube...wonder if that would work.
and of course....we are all using the '2 stroke' labeled cam on our bikes!

No kidding!!!! Given that Rizoma makes a LOT of Ducati accessories, you'd think that they might go the extra mile and supply a throttle cam that actually fits our bikes. |

I originally considered this, but acually went the other direction. I ground down the cam so it would rotate past the "wimpy stop" to a more substantial portion of the cam to act as the stop. Took some repeated tries to get the action smooth. |

I have a simple solution to the cam problem. I had a hard time geting the Rizoma cam to work on my 96 Monster, so I used a thin screwdriver to rip the throttle tube off the Rizoma grip then used the aluminum grip housing on the OEM throttle tube/cam assembly. I had to sand the old tube so it'll fit and because I am paranoid, I used Gorilla glue between the aluminum and the plastic even though it was a snug fit. I did this over a year ago, with no slippage/cam issues whatsoever.
I do agree that Rizoma could have done a better job with their cam, but it is what it is...

Currently in the process of finding a better glue that will actually bond to the plastic of the cam (I fabricated a little plastic corner piece to build up the edge of the cam). Tried gorilla glue as it was handy, but that failed instantly. If anyone has any other ideas, I'm all ears! edit: these guys have an "MV Agusta adapter" for 15 bucks. I wonder if that would be a better match. Sold as a pair with 3 throttle cams for all brands except MV Agusta. An MV Agusta throttle grip cam is sold separately. http://cjmoto.com/-strse-3/Rizoma-Handlebar-Grips-Sport/Detail.bok |

Are you sure it's plastic? The ones I've seen look like nylon
