esterelbanshee Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 A Jetski is the ultimate grip tester. ODI grips don't usually stay on for long. I have a really great method which is super easy and really works well. I've been doing this for 25 years with no problems. It sounds crazy but cut off the old grips and clean the bars and apply some WD-40 to the inside of the grips (not a lot) and slide em on. Don't touch it for 2 days and they will be bullitproof. Works for twists as well. You couldn't move my grips if you were paid to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I use 3M Weatherstripping. It's the same as Renthal Grip Clue but you get like 10X as much for a fraction of the price. Rough up the bar. Put a dab on the end of the grip and twist it on. It's important to rotate the grip the whole time because it spreads the glue out evenly... Let it dry. I always put safety wire in the middle of the grip just because.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ran mine for three years with no issues what so ever. Also they are still in like new shape after all that abuse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinned247 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I've always used clear polyurethane. I've never had a problem with grips. I guess it's the same as using paint but it's clear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esterelbanshee Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 When you take a high speed wipeout on a standup Jetski usually one of the grips comes ripping off completely in your hand even the bolted on ones. Spraypaint works too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
