    Remove the grip, degrease both the bar and inside the grip add a smear of clear silicone sealant and replace grip , sorted once the silicone has had time to cure.

    if it's loose sounds like it's worn.

    either put a new grip on or just lockwire it on.

    All I do is clean the handlebar then spray the inside of grip with brake cleaner. Never bother with the glue and they have never moved on me yet.
