   When I was out riding my CBR650R on Saturday, the left heated grip lost all friction against the bar and started rotating freely whenever any force was applied. I had to hit up a hardware store and duct tape it temporarily to the bar end…which also suspiciously rotated without much effort.
   
   On the latter half of the ride, I called my usual Honda and Kawasaki #motorcycle dealer (which isn't where I bought the bike from) and asked them what to use to glue the grip back on. The lead mechanic picked up the call and told me to use 3M "grip glue" after removing the existing adhesive and roughing the bar up (typical stuff). I didn't have much luck looking for any such dedicated adhesives, so I ordered 3M Spray Adhesive 90.
   
   The adhesive showed up today so I went to do the fix. Guess what I found when I took the grip off? The bar was as clean as a whistle! The shop I bought the bike from didn't even bother to glue it on properly! :blobfoxangry:
   
   At least it's all fixed now.

     While the shop I bough the bike from has a great atmosphere on the floor, this isn't the first time the mechanics have done shoddy work on the bike. I've had to clean up a number of issues with how it was set up when I bought it.

     Oh yeah, the casing for the control circuitry of the heated grip was also damaged at some point before I got to this repair work. One of the little plastic clips was broken off so that the casing wouldn't fully close. I just tried the same spray adhesive for now, but will use super glue if it doesn't hold. :blobfoxgoogly:

     I'm not super enthusiastic about where the button ended up through all this, but it's very easy to reach there. :blobfoxgoogly:

     it's one of the nice things about bikes compared to a car when it comes to ease of service and modding
