Also spray the weight with some silocon spray as it is coming out as the rubber inserts tend to grip the inside of the handlebar if they are not lubricated.
I am not looking forward to removing the left side weight when replacing the grips with Rizoma grips. To do that I have to shorten each handlebar by 20mm. However the quality of the grips will be worth the effort.
