My clutch side grip on my gsxr is coming loose. I've heard WD40 will do a good job of making them stick... I've tried spraying wd40 inside the grip and letting it dry overnight, but it doesnt work at all. What else can I use besides hairspray and grip glue?

Contact Cement,,,it's "slow enough" to allow installation and sets to a rubbery state.
Clean the grip & handledar thoroughly with soap & water,,rinse well and dry.
Swab the glue inside the grip,,,shove it on quickly

Like others have said WD-40 is used take the grips off....to keep the grips on, i spray spraypaint in the grip and then slide it on and let it sit there for a few minutes....spray paint reduces messes that glue can cause

Very, very clean first,( no WD) . If they are snug, a small amount of 50/50 dish soap + water then let dry, it's sticky when dry.
If they fit loose, use ( on a very clean surface) clear silicone.
Put it inside the grip ,rather than on the bars so the residual stays inside instead of collecting on the outer rim of the grip.

WD-40 is the best way I know of to REMOVE the old ones.
Then use Brakleen or acetone on a clean rag to thoroughly clean the WD-40 from the bars.
Epoxy works well to secure the new grips.

No need for anything fancy. After a thorough cleaning of handlebar, coat the bar lightly with Elmer's glue, then slide grip into place. Best to let dry over night. Easier cleanup and less chance of damage to paint or other bike parts as with some other products. This method has worked great for me over 38 yrs. riding, and dozens of installations.

WD-40 is used as a lubricant.
Clean the handle bar and inside of grip with "contact cleaner" (available at auto parts and bike shops) or gasoline and let dry.
Put "grip glue" on handlebar and inside of grip.
It'll be slippery until you get the grip on and in position.
Wipe off excess.

WD-40 is a good way to make them slip off. It's an oil based lubricant. When I built my bike I used a silicone lubricant. It is basically a bunch of microsopic ball bearings. It goes on wet but then dries up. It's cheap. You can buy it at any motorcycle shop. Also, it is useful for other things like lubing your cables and such.
