How to remove grips without damaging them?

[Livingmylife93]

Im trying to take my stock grips off and put them onto my new bars and dont want to tear them or anything 

[Krandall]

my old ones were glued on like a mofo.. ended up tearing both...

Sometimes air works really well. If they are glued you are screwed

i can twist mine sort of. maybe just try to twist the shit out of them and they might work loose. if that doesn't work i don't know what will.

if you can get some warm soapy water on the glue it will help loosen it up.  I used a squirt bottle with the soap/water mix and used a small flat tip screw driver to lift inside edge and soaked them down good and then let it sit.  I left mine for about 2 hrs and then when i came back i was able to twist them back and forth til the glue broke free and poof there off.

If they don't have very much glue on them and there is a small hole in the sinter of the end or the grip use an air compressor with a air handle and put the tip in the hole and blow it lol it will inflate the grip and brake the glue bead . . . . .

Why not just use different grips?

That is how I have got every pair of my grips off since I started riding

I've never seen anyone remove the OEM grips without having to tear them off. Pain in the arse, but grips are pretty inexpensive.
