Mr RH heated grip seems to be losing its grip, and is slowly moving towards me . It is not particularly loose and and I'm not hard on the throttle.

I can twist it back but need advice on how to remove it so I can clean off the adhesive and re-fix.

Cheers

That is something I would like to know as well.
My problem started after having new tyres fitted I use chemix tyres for this and the sling the handlebars for safety and do front and back nothing in the way but unfortunately the grips lose there grip

actually doing mine now on my zzr simply unbolt the bar end by loosening off the bar end allen bolt ,if your grips are loose you should be able to twist it off ,clean up your bar and the inside of the grip. i am going to reattach my grip into place using hair laquer ,ne ver tried it before but apparently pleny laquer on your bar and the inside of your grip ,then slide into place quickly before the laquer hardens,

As above, hair lacquer does work. I would recommend keying the bar before you re-afix the grip. A bit of wet and dry, not the other type of keying....that would be silly!  :whistling:

I can testify to hair spray. Spray on, slide on. Easy as that.

Let it set for a while
