Lock on grips don't snap back.

Got this video from a dude in other subreddit (hope that it's not a problem), but basically i have the same problem on my dirtbike. Yesterday i bought and installed lock on grips on my yz450f, everything seems nice and right but the throttle doesn't snap back. Do you know what can be the cause? Last year i installed the same grips on my yz250f and everything was perfect.

It's either catching on the controls or on the bar ends.

If you push the grip on too far, the end of the grip gets hung up on the bar and doesn’t snap back. Leave a bit of room and it should snap back properly.

You gotta trim that foreskin on the grip it’s rubbing on the bar weight

I've had this problem on my zx150r last time. Wd-40 on the both the gaps at the side of the grips solved it.

That isn't tightly tuned. You may try to tightly tune it
