grip size

[Doug royal86]

What size is the grips on an 86. I got some for my 83 4 years ago but forgot the size.I stopped at a yamaha shop to get a couple keys made and asked and got 2 answers.I was told 1 1/4 and 1 then told 1" and 7/8.

Hi @Doug royal86 The left grip is 7/8 and the right grip requires a 1" to fit over the throttle sleeve. Lots of good grip options on Ebay for good prices compared to the Yamaha shop. I picked up a couple pairs for my 86 Ventures and really like them....plus they only cost $18 with free shipping....here is a link:

Hope that helps!

They are considered 7/8 grips. Depending on the grip you buy the right will either have a throttle tube or be oversized to take a tube.

 

You also have to worry about the length. Off hand I don't recall what it is but you can put a tape up to yours. Or, get one sized for a Goldwing - same dimensions.

I cannt understand why it was so hard for this kid to do his job and look. I thought it was the 7/8 but he said different so made me think twice. I should not of bothered him from leaning on the counter.

In fairness to the kid: It probably went out of production before he was potty trained.

Maybe that's why they won't service bikes older then 15yrs...
