In the S1000rr garage there's another thread, OEM Grip Removal, with more info. In short, feelin ur pain!

And the service manual says not to open the switchgear as there's a risk of damage to the sealed circuit boards. You'll need a T8 torx btw:) Also, note there's a little plastic cover on the opposite side of the switch from the grip. Its held on by 2 tabs. Lift these and it'll pop off. You are...

Really, really nice job mate. I replaced my cat and I had real trouble getting the remains of the cat out of the endss of the header pipes! They don't tell you that in the instructions. Then I found it really hard to get a completely airtight seal between the headers and decat. Finally, it...

I'm on a few other forums and I'm pretty sure I read that on the danmoto ones, there's a kind of u shaped bracket welded to the decat pipes. I think the bracket is meant to secure the decat to the underside of the sump. But it doesn't fit/line up well.

3 hrs? Nasty. Mines a 2010, no glue on clutch side. Wonder if the early ones had no glue at all? Quick action throttle is an SCM. Yes it includes the housing and cables. I have it on the medium cam and its pretty aggressive. I don't road ride any more so I'm just waiting for some warmish dry...

Yes it is on a plastic tube...but...if you undo the screw and the nut on the opposite side of the clipon, the grip won't slide off. You'll need to open up the quick release compartment on left hand switchgear and (in theory) release the 2 wiring connectors under which lies a release tab for the...
