Every time I messed with those things I broke at least one all to pieces, they are only a couple of bucks for a set of them If I remember right, just order some and pry them suckers off.

where do you order the new ones from?

Bikebandit.com or some similar motorcycle website would work, or since I see you live in Little Rock, you could go to Doug Reynolds Suzuki and order them, truthfully on something small like that you could probably actually save money by buying them from an actual motorcycle shop, because of shipping charges and whatnot.


Just about anytime you order anything under 10 bucks on the internet (unless they offer free shipping) you end up paying as much for shipping as you do for the product itself.

Home Depot may have them. They're just covers that fit into the alllen head.

I used a flat eyeglass screwdriver (tiny) just about two weeks ago and didn't have a problem.

I didn't wanted to open a new topic, since here is plenty of answers which you have to find. In the morning I'm pulling my handle bar back, cause i don't like it forward... ;)

If/when you tip the handle bars up and forward don't be surprised if your wrists start to hurt. This may or may not happen but be forewarned.

The handle bar on my gz was moved forward by its previous owner. I will put it in the same position as it was from the factory; same lining with front forks... That's all, I ain't gonna mess too much...
