I needed to remove my bar weights to install the Barkbusters, I removed the end weights then re inserted the screw and used a vice grip inside of the screw head and hammered the inner weight out, took about a minute and came out clean.
So you didn't have to remove any clips?

Got my Kaoto in today. Tried removing the retainer clip for about an hour, got frustrated and decided to do a search on Kaoto and found this. I figured I wasn't the only one that had this problem. 5 minutes later Kaoto is on.I needed to remove my bar weights to install the Barkbusters, I removed the end weights then re inserted the screw and used a vice grip inside of the screw head and hammered the inner weight out, took about a minute and came out clean.View attachment 8466
Thank you very much for your help. I've done a little more "asking around" and the easiest way to do this is to slide off the entire throttle body to get at the two little holes the retaining clip tabs fit into so that they can be popped out. Once the clip is out of the handle bar the entire weight will just slide right out. Also it will be easier to install the new assembly I bought at my local dealer for 52 dollars.
Thanks Texican88 !!
I've done this job myself in order to fit a Kaoko friction throttle control - here's my pictorial guide - it broadly follows the advice already posted by others....

Companies should hire you to make build/install instructions for them, mate. Awesome!
