Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and safety of your ODI Lock-On Grips. Follow these steps carefully:
- Prepare Handlebars: Ensure your ATV handlebars are clean and free from any old grip residue, dirt, or grease. Use a suitable cleaner if necessary and allow to dry completely.
- Remove Old Grips (if applicable): If replacing existing grips, carefully cut or slide off the old grips. Remove any old glue or adhesive.
- Install Throttle Side Grip: Slide the grip onto the throttle tube. Ensure the grip is fully seated against the throttle housing. The lock-on clamp should be positioned correctly.
- Install Clutch Side Grip: Slide the grip onto the clutch side of the handlebar. Ensure it is fully seated.
- Tighten Lock-On Clamps: Using an appropriate hex key, tighten the lock-on clamps on both grips. Do not overtighten; tighten until the grips are secure and do not rotate. Refer to your ATV's manual for specific torque specifications if available, or tighten firmly by hand.
- Test Grips: Before riding, ensure both grips are firmly in place and do not slip or rotate. Check throttle operation for smooth movement.
Note: Always ensure the throttle operates freely and returns to the idle position without obstruction after grip installation.
Operating Instructions
The ODI X-Treme Lock-On Grips are designed for immediate use after proper installation. Their primary function is to provide a secure and comfortable interface between the rider and the ATV handlebars.
- Secure Hold: The patented Lock-On system ensures the grips remain firmly in place, preventing unwanted rotation or slipping during aggressive riding.
- Enhanced Traction: The tacky diamond plate pattern provides superior grip, allowing for better control and reduced hand fatigue, especially in wet or muddy conditions.
- Comfort: The material and design are optimized for rider comfort, absorbing vibrations and providing a consistent feel.
No special operating procedures are required beyond standard ATV riding practices. Focus on maintaining a firm but relaxed grip for optimal control.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life and performance of your ODI X-Treme Lock-On Grips.
- Cleaning: Clean grips regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could degrade the grip material. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the grips for signs of wear, tears, or damage. Check the lock-on clamps to ensure they remain tight. If any damage is observed, consider replacing the grips for safety.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store your ATV in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ODI X-Treme Lock-On Grips, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
