First, you'll need the heated grips. You'll need a T15, a T25, a zip tie and some side cutters. This motorcycle is just out of a crate. We're preparing it for a new owner. So many of the items are not installed on it. So it doesn't have hand guards and it doesn't have the mirrors which are going to make this job much easier for us. As we move forward to begin, you need to take off your throttle grip and your left side grip. Take off the throttle grip. You need the T 25 to disassemble the throttle housing, take the two screws out from underneath here, loosening each one up. Don't drop them. Put them in your little pouch or in whatever you do use to keep your hardware separate. If you have both of them out, the clamshell assembly will come apart, being careful not to drop it, which is not always easy. So now we have the top of this off. The rest of the assembly is going to stay on there, set that aside and slide the throttle grip off.It's that easy moving it over to the other side. We're going to take the left side grip off as well. I want to roll back the rubber covering from the grip. Take your T15. Slide it up in there. Fine. The hardware and loosen. Get it nice loose. Give it a yank. That's off quite easily as well. With them off you are ready to install the grips left. One goes on pretty easily. Just slide that on similar to the way you took it off, making sure you lined the power cable up so it doesn't interfere with any buttons or get caught. As you are adventuring, push it on there. Make sure your handlebar sticks out. Now again, you're going to pull the rubber covering back reach that t 15 back up into the grip and tighten down the hardware.Ofttimes we have these come in the shop and the left grip is moving quite a bit. This is sort of backwards compatible part. It's the same on lots of years. If we get a motorcycle in the shop and the left grip moves, it's probably because this is loose or someone didn't tighten it. Roll the rubber back in place and you can leave the extension. Hang until we ready to root it. Take in your throttle grip. This one takes a little bit more finesse. Come on over here and I'll show you where we need to engage the wiring. So we have this little lead that rolls around with the throttle as you twist it. And then this little plastic piece that engages in the clamshell.It's got a small cutaway that we want to align in the clamshell. See if you can get up in there with that in place. We're going to slide it in making sure that the wire recedes into the grip. And now we can see that the grip will move back and forth without pulling the wire all the way out.Now is where you use your zip tie. So with that cable in place, you push the heat, shrink back in or the the protective sleeve on the wiring, run your zip tie up through the hole in the bottom of the clamshell and snug it down. So it has a little bit of slack inside the housing. There. So that tightened down.And our plastic piece still engage. We can engage our throttle grip, make sure everything's okay there. We take our clamshell putting this back on the tab faces inward. So I'm sorry. Tab faces outward towards the grip, engaging in this slot on the throttle grip. Put that together like that, rotated into place and then drive your hardware back up from the bottom side.Of course. Reference your manual for talk specs on said hardware. All right. Next step is routing your wiring in or out the wiring through the top strip clamp. We have two plastic sleeves that protect the cables as they run through the triple clamp. I've already pulled them out of here. Just tugging upwards on them should relieve them. You need to apply a little bit of heat or something that can be helpful. The reason we need to pull those out is because this plug will not fit through this hole with the plastic piece in there. So write your wires, drop them down through the cutout in the top clamp. Write them down through the cutout in the top, triple clamp down through the cut out in the top triple clamps. There you go. #ktm #ktmadventure390 #390adventure #howto #duke390 #readytorace #adventure #powersports
