Handlebar removal

[Paulel]

I want to remove the handlebars from my MTS but I’m a little nervous because of the heated grips. If anyone has done it can they please advice me.

are you still working on this ? there are two screws holding the left grip, don't believe they are glued.
I just bought a MTS950 my self with no heated grips, I need to install them and I've the installation booklet.

Hey, thanks for the reply, I was beginning to give up hope! No I haven’t started yet as I’ve been busy. The reason I want to remove the bars is to get them, and the clamp, powder coated satin black so it’s not urgent.
I thought I could see a screw just under the grip, what about the throttle side? The other thing I’m concerned about is the power cable. I suppose I’m going to have to take the plunge and remove some paneling! Anyway, thanks for the info. Thanks

at the left handlebar, is held by two screws @ 2.8Nm +/- 5% the outer screw is 10Nm
the right/throttle controller grip is held by a few more screws @ 1.5 Nm -/+ 10% and outer screw 10 Nm
.
again, I'm not a Ducati mechanic I'm just reading it from the heated grips installation booklet provided by Ducati.

Hey ... in the same vein ... has anyone raised their bars? the offset mount looks very non-standard to what I am used to. thanks for any help.
