As Ron said, it's no problem at all. I took ten minutes from start to finish. Just note there is a large flange at the switch end and a small lip on the open end over which you have to slide the grip. Just ease a screwdriver in between the grip and throttle tube then spray some chain cleaner or similar into the gap. Work the screwdriver around the circumference and down the length if the grip and the grip should slide off easily.

When fitting the new grips, use alcohol as a cleaner and lubricant and slide the grips on. Just be sure to locate the recesses on the throttle grip with the large flange and small lip. Once the alcohol evaporates, after about ten minutes, you'll find the grips are completely secure.
