handlebar rising - 08 FE450

matikrimerman · Sep 13, 2010

Sorry for the stupid questions but I couldn't find the data anywhere

1.the magura SX on the 08 (i think that's the stock) are 1" right?

2.what would you recommend buying in order to rise the bars? I don't fell very comfortable standing on the bike and I was suggested to raise the bars. I'm 1.74 cm (5.7" I think). what size of raisers should I get and where can I find them so that they fit the handlebar

3.I want to buy a spare shifter lever in case mine brakes on the the trail. will one for a ktm from 03-09 fit? . i know this question is not tin the right section, but I didn't want to open a new thread for that.

thanks for your time

There is no interchange for the shift lever but possibly for the risers I'm not sue.

The risers for ktm and husaberg are the same at least for similar years. mine had ktm written all over them when i bought them from the dealer.

Here is a thread about triple clamps and risers for ktm, husaberg.

at 5' 7" i would have thought standard was good. are you sure you have them tilted back enough and also do you have them in the nearest holes to you? max lift I should have thought was 1/2".

KTM bar-risers fit. They are available from a variety of places. Make sure that the bolts are long enough!

I actually don't

. how can I tilt them? just by changing the angle in which the bars are laid in the clamps?

Thank all of you guys for your help.

p.s

JohanH - I also have those levers, I'm now looking for something to replace the shifter lever, sorry if I wasn't clear about that.

Did you rotate the clamps? KTM clamps work on your bike. Taffy has a good shift lever in his ebay shop. The only shift lever issues I have had is it be push through the clutch cover.

thanks again guys. I'll try to move my handlebar backwards, I didn't thought it'll make such a big difference.

Any news about the shifter lever? Is there no affordable after market lever that can be bought and will fit?

thanks again for all the help.
