It came off in me hand. Brief butt puckering ensued.

[..]

Managed to make all the little teeth mesh so I could still operate throttle.

Do I just re glue it?

[Chrisj CMA]

Get new grips that don't come apart like that. Horrible design!

[..]

Heated grips. I like them.

[indybobm]

Teeth?

[Chrisj CMA]

If you are going to glue it.  I recommend disassembly of the throttle so you have the small part that is holding the cables separated. Clean the parts with alcohol then glue together with epoxy. Make sure a very complete repair. Then after it's dry you can clean and smooth the interior that contacts the handlebars. Then reassemble like the OEM unit

Teeth?

I'll post another photo in a short while.

I once had an Iso-Grip detach itself from the "throttle pipe" when I was about 150mi west of home; this at speed on a freeway. Pull clutch in, unzip jacket, stuff grip down jacket and into its inside pocket, re-zip jacket then use throttle pipe as the "grip" for the remainder of the journey.

Phun timez.

Mmmm...yeah...that'll wake ya up!!

Sorry photos in the morning.

13 hour work day today with a really early start.. Knackered. Sleep.

I have heated grips and had that happen. The thing is the heat will soften conventional grip glue. I used a heavy duty super glue (Loctite) and no problems since. In fact the manufacturer of my grips (Oxford) ships superglue and recommends it.

Thanks.

Any tip on best way of applying glue?

If I am seeing it correctly, you don't want any glue on the handle bar.  So that's why I suggested taking the housing apart so you can glue the bit with teeth back on.

Unless ( can't see that ) does the grip have a built in sleeve that moves independently from the outer part?

Why are you messing around with glue? Write the grips off as a bad investment and replace them with a better set. You got lucky once ... next time you might not.

No outer sleeve.

Then you should take the housing apart, clean it well and glue the teeth back together, smooth out the part that runs on the bar after the glue dries so it operates smoothly

I believe, after seeing the pics, I agree with you on this one. Looks like an inherently weak design...in a place you can tolerate no weakness...

+2 I wouldn't even think about it. If heated grips are a must, there are plenty of quality ones out there.

[Harryc]

The Oxford heated grips have an inner sleeve. You basically glue the inner sleeve to the bar and the grips to the inner sleeve. Also they use the stock Honda throttle tube...no gears or other nonsense. Very nice grips ... they get too hot, as if that's a problem. https://oxford-products.com/us/products/Heaterz-Premium-Touring-%252d-Heated-Grips.html

Sometimes I need to punch myself in the nose!

If the 2 sets of teeth mesh together to make the throttle work GLUING THE FRICKIN tube to the handlebar will end up with a grip that can't turn so no throttle movement.

Sheesh, so I need to buy a new thingamajig throttle turning whatsit.

I need to take a look at the way this throttle operates to try to determine how it broke.

[..]

Where do I find the throttle on this fiche?

Yes, I've looked.

It aint pretty but it will have to do until after I move house.

Looks good to me!

Needs a white zip tie to go with the red & blue.

I'm glad you figured that out. I think the LOLs would have crashed the board if you used a bunch of epoxy to glue the grip to the handlebar.

The controller bolts up to the clutch housing, I didn't use the supplied clamp.
