How to Remove Honda Bar Ends and Weights

[@NYDStories]

Tell me your bar end stories !

[@BananaMobileGaming]

I'm about to throw the entire bike hahahahhaa I'm still stuck hahahah

[@BananaMobileGaming]

Nevermind I found a way like yours , I put a tape around it and then used drive RATCHET , it's out in 5secs and taking out the weight I use vice grip put a little clothe around it and then I hammer it out. Came out very quick no damage at all.

[@serriteno1]

@@BananaMobileGaming you saved me a headache the hammer method worked way faster.

[@Chillzy]

How do I install the weights? I can't find anywhere that'll show me how to put the rubber parts on and properly get the weights in the handlebars.

[@leandrolee7690]

first you have to remove the handle grip. there is a small two holes in the handle bar which is the lock of the handle bar end weight. then, you can pull out the bar end weight easily. you're doing in a wrong way.

[@justinh2412]

Thanks for the video!! Although it's FAR EASIER to LEAVE the bar weight on the end. Roll back the handgrips so you can see the holes in the bars. Use a pointy object to rotate the clips sideways so the tabs go under the edges. Then spray with some light oil. Pull it out by the bar end. No drilling or anything needed. Can put it back in if needed. Hope that helps the next person!

[@harshvishwakarma1890]

Thanks. I took my CB to get the handlebar replace and the mechanics didn't know this

[@Skelly_777]

Thanks I was thinking about doing this but didn’t know if it would work,thanks for the confirmation

[@karoslif9818]

I used that exact method on my Nc750x as I didn't want to destroy the tabs on the bar ends.

[@stevensteel8617]

Thank you friend. I was looking at the Honda manual for the NC700/750 and the black and white images are really difficult to make out. Honda recommend removing the grip first so that, as another comment says, you can release and remove the retaining clip without doing any damage. One of my bar end weights snapped when I dropped the bike on black ice, so I may have a bit more fun trying to remove it, but your video has shown me exactly what I am looking at, so thank you.

[@tocccapotato7229]

Very informative , thank you

[@G31S7]

I removed mine with a regular Phillips head screwdriver. I put several layers of duct tape around the bar end only and used grips to grab it and applied pressure on the screw while unscrewing. Came loose with no issues.

[@NYDStories]

Lucky you !

[@LibanganTV_24]

Thanks for the idea

[@chrisdadigger1018]

They should not be this difficult this is ridiculous

[@OneFreeMan17]

Yeah I don’t know why manufacturers are so obsessed with making things so stupidly tight

[@CrossfireVAL]

@@OneFreeMan17 I think for safety reasons obviously but yeah, the bar ends are fucking stupid lol.

[@_Progen_]

Thank you!

[@nikhithhm]

Title should have been "How NOT to Remove Honda Bar Ends and Weights" 😝

[@NYDStories]

True

[@francisfe2064]

Remove grips, push spring clip in the hole to the side or get a mate to push it in and use the bar end and bolt as a slide hammer.

[@rowelandres139]

What's that for anyway?

[@GrahamPinnegar]

I’ve never had any issue removing the bar ends, to remove the weights I thread the bar end screw through a washer and then a 20mm socket and drawer it out like a cork from a wine bottle

[@jangummi9164]

Just that,what do you with the clamps inside the bar?

[@omnivore2220]

Excellent! (Except the part where you stripped the screw heads - that was foolish). Thank you for this video! I've seen some far more difficult methods for removing the internal portion, and this one is the best!

[@deamonkhorne4777]

La meilleure c’est d’enfoncer avec un embout la bague sort de sont logement et ta juste à tirer après .

[@chrisdadigger1018]

I can’t get mine loose either I gave up even my drill doesn’t have enough power

[@chumchisk]

Stick a can of or use compressed air to take off the grips. Get under the rubber and blow.

[@thelondonbiker]

Hey - do you know if Yamaha is also gluing their handbars ends….having issues removing on an XSR 125cc

[@NYDStories]

I guess most of the brands do the same

[@mikebenson8045]

Trying to remove the stock bar ends on the XSR125 was one of the worst experiences of my life. Had to get two mates to help me and it took all three of us. One of us pushing the clips in, one of us pulling the weight out, and the other holding the bike back the other way so it didn’t fall over. Took so much force it was ridiculous

[@jkpisces]

why do u have to remove the weights? wouldnt that cause more vibrations on your handle bar?

[@NYDStories]

mirrors don't fit with weights in. It worked out great for me, no vibrations.

[@jeremyjohn1902]

Is there Any content on how to put them back in, I flipped my r3 and the weight came out. I don’t know how to put a new one in.

[@NYDStories]

Did not put them back, still riding without them

[@jeremyjohn1902]

@@NYDStories oh that’s a bet, it’s j an r3 so I’ll ride it messed up j don’t know abt the safety but from what your saying it sounds safe enough to me

[@owen_jdm]

Honda just uses cheap hardware, I also stripped my bar end screws with a good quality screw driver. I had to drill the weight out with an 'easy out' bit. Just to have my throttle get stuck with my lever guards and made me drop the bike....I also tested the throttle before but its still got stuck. Luckily no major damage, just a couple of scratches

[@Sking_28]

Same issue

[@BMCMOTOUK]

I removed my bar end weights within minutes simply by using an impact driver. One smack with the hammer and the screw came loose!

[@akashkore1124]

How to remove broken screw inside the handle bar

[@NYDStories]

Try screw extractor

[@christopherroblescatulong2074]

Salamat boss kala ko built in yun hehe

[@user-yr7m2]

What does the screw even do on the tip of the weight if you have to destroy it? I tried to srew it, nothing happens

[@NYDStories]

It holds the weights in as well as the end of handlebar.

[@grinding-gears]

It dosent have to be this way, Check out how I did it, its very easy to pull it out

[@NYDStories]

Some are lucky :)

[@mikebarbeau8569]

Tape then use impact sounds right...

[@stevec4748]

It would have helped if you were turning the screw in the correct direction at the beginning. You were tightening not loosening. That's why you stripped the screw head.

[@NYDStories]

🤦‍♂️

[@cb125frider4]

What size screw did you use to pull it with? I've got some bar end's to go on mine and need to remove the factory bit to fit them

[@NYDStories]

Nothing fancy a typical Philips screw.

[@rossr372]

@@NYDStories It's not a 'typical Philips screw'. It is a JIS fastener.

[@mikeh.9091]

Hi, thank you for this video! Well filmed, great! Could you tell me please the diameter of the inner handlebar weight? Keep on doing videos!

[@NYDStories]

Sorry mate, dont know that.

[@narusam4108]

Too easy to remove, just remove the handle grip first then you can push the pin fron the tiny hole of the handle bar

[@GINGERPRINCE1974]

I have to say this is not the way to do it use a puller method, which you can use with a deep sparkplug socket and the screw that comes with it, possible use a washer to if needed. But very easy to do.

[@davincifpv3983]

Sorry but why did you need to remove them in the first place? Any benefits? Cheers from New Zealand, keep the vids rolling out please and Kia Kaha!!

[@NYDStories]

I did it to mount the bar end mirrors, but people add different mods to their handlebars.

[@ihsanm1]

My left weight on my 07 Honda cbr 1000rr fell out while riding. Now both handle bars vibrate. The left vibrates hard. Will heavy bar ends solve this issue even if the left handlebar is hollow?

[@NYDStories]

Your bike have a different bar and position, Most likely you will need something like SATO bar ends

[@knoxbom3274]

Are the bar weights necessary?

[@NYDStories]

Yes, they are used to reduce the vibration, but I ended up removing them, its a personal choice.

[@knoxbom3274]

@@NYDStories didn't think of that....thank you

[@user-ci2wd8xg4p]

Better if you just pushed the weights instead of pulling it out. Weights has it's own purpose.

[@1966johnnywayne]

Or...maybe start with the right tool. A poorly fitting Phillips socket wobbling around the Phillips screw??? A good quality JIS screwdriver would probably do the trick in a few seconds and save all of this headache.

[@NYDStories]

Absolutely, but I worked with the tools I had, and most guys here do the same, I enjoyed the process and learnt from it

[@rossr372]

1966johnnywayne Dead right!

[@scottseedell238]

Or even better, a cordless impact driver. It really is completely effortless.

[@ajk6656]

I wonder how Honda garages deal with it when they have to remove bar ends for whatever reason? Do they just drill the screw out and replace it? Lol

[@horizonunlimitedph4630]

I saw them using vise grips took them time to remove it also.

[@schlubbyblubb7407]

man my weigts and this shit it so annoying im sitting since 2 hours on that crap and moved it only like 2 mm i never buy honda ever again, man i dont want to work like a real guy, I ONLY WANT THESE FUCKIN MIRRORS ONE THE END OF THE BAR i cant anymore but thx for the video hope i can do it soon

[@Mayheezy592]

Go elsewhere to watch how to remove bar end weights, he made this incredibly hard

[@StanielBG]

You are actually tightening them, not loosing them up. Try the other direction next time. :)

[@einhundertfunfzig4919]

I could just pull mine out after losing the bolts

[@NYDStories]

Lucky you !

[@rjlopez4594]

No no no. 🤭😮‍💨

[@BillyBoblovesthedirt]

I would have chucked it in the bin and put new bars on
