Wemoto is now stocking not too hard, not too soft (and not too pricey either! ) motocross grips by racing specialist WRP.
Stocked in black or grey for 7/8th (22mm) bars, the new grips sport a “half waffle” design, giving superior grip to mildly textured grips. The rubber compound is not only more durable than many cheaper rubbers; it’s also a great shock absorber, to help reduce fatigue and cramping.

By making a banjo bolt that you can put the bleed nipple in, you can bypass trying to remove a stuck bleed nipple in your caliper
If you’ve got an older motorcycle you’ve probably been there – you go to bleed your brakes and find instead you break your bleed nipple. Now you’re stuck with the head in your hand and the thread in the caliper.
Bleed nipples, even stainless steel ones, are prone to corrosion. Even if you keep the bleed nipple cover on to keep the wet out, every time you bleed the brakes you’ll be inflicting wear on the head of the bleed nipple when you unscrew it. If your bleed nipple breaks or is resolutely stuck in the caliper, usually you have two choices – attempt to remove it, and risk damaging the caliper, or drill the remaining fragments out, retap the thread and use a bleed nipple one size larger, if you can find one. Either way can become very expensive.
Fortunately, there is a far easier alternative that few people know about.
It’s getting warmer and if you weren’t a winter biker, it’s time to get the bike out of the shed and discover to your horror that there’s a number of parts that need replacing!
Electrical such as batteries are one of the first things that suffer when it’s cold and they’re sat with nothing to do. It’s rare to be able to bring a conventional battery back from deep discharge if it’s not been charged for some time, so Wemoto have affordable, quality Nitro batteries for nearly every motorcycle to get you back on the road again.
