have a look in the General section, I think there are links to service manuals, very handy. Welcome to the forum, lots of helpful people here.

Welcome aboard jet! Remove the fairing to get at the lever. I use a blow dryer to soften the grip. Insert a dull screw driver into the grip, and spray in some dish soap. Remove the screw driver, and you can work the soap around inside till the grip twists off. I also use GASOLINE to lube the grip for install. It softens the grip, and sort of glues it in place.I tried looking for a 150 manual, and so far no luck, but someone will make one avail. as it is a great scoot, and I believe there will be plenty of them around.

Just another tip on grip removel and replacement If you have access to compressor and small blower attachment work under grip and hit the trigger,You can blow it up like a balloon be carefull can burst or take off like a rocket.Can also be done if your bars are hollow from the outher side.Good luck

I've done it more than once In my good old dirt bike days.Works great we used a tacky glue had to cut alot of them of.Never thought about the blow dryer.Grips usualy shredded by then anyway.

..dish detergent makes for one helluva grip...squirt some up in th' grip then insert it...
..it won't EVER come off...
..and the bubbles are pretty cool for the first cpl wet rides...
