Title: HELP!
Post by: ccemn1 on November 27, 2019, 01:30:17 PM

I have a 2018 Kymco Cross Town 300. I didn't like the grips, they were too hard and smooth for a good grip. I bought new grips, and replaced the left side first.
When I went to replace the throttle side, I discovered that it's impossible to remove, and must have been fabricated, or cast as a single piece with the throttle tube? I now have the throttle so butchered from trying to remove it, it's likely I'll have to replace the throttle tube itself, before putting the new, matching grip on.
Can anyone tell me which, and where I might purchase a throttle tube that would be compatible?
Love this bike, but it's got a few eccentricities like this, that drive me crazy.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Yes Kymco throttle grip is one piece----try sponge over grips, work for me.   Last  up to 50,000 miles.

Thanks guys, but I just took the whole thing apart, and ordered a universal push/pull replacement throttle tube. It was frustrating because I already had the left side aftermarket grip on & glued.
thanks again.
