roll it back but don't take it off, get a towel dry it, then roll it back up, or just ride until it goes. What grips are they? I had really bad throttle with my addict grips but I just did that^.

i put them on using deodorant and they are addict grips

the whole thing was throttling and i did what you said for either side but in the middle i ended taking off the whole grip and i put electrical tape on where the grip is. so its thicker and put the grip back on and it is fine now apart from a tiny bit right on the very side where i dont hold my hands

wtf why does everyone use all these liquids
USE YOUR SPIT
as nasty as that sounds, just stick your index finger in your mouth wipe it on the inside of each grip a bit and then just spin a bit on your bars and wipe it around without putting to much and slide your grips on
the point of this is that spit doesnt stay slippery it dries so no throttle
i've done this multiple times so im talking from experience

use zip ties or rubbing alcohol dont use spit or water because it takes forever to dry and it will usually throttle grip

First of all if you know what the hell your doing hair spray should work fine, easiest way is to use a air compressor if you don't have one either use spit, hair spray (not too much) or rubbing alcohol I've heard works good but never tried it.
