Renthal bars; longer cables needed? - SV650.org

Jason H · 16-03-13, 08:06 PM

So my handle bars may be a little bent as of half an hour ago(was surprised they bend so easily).

If I were to fit some renthals would I need longer lines?

Cheers

If yours is a naked, then probably not, but there a few different heights for Renthals

It is indeed a naked. Was thinking med, low or ultra low. Depends on what I can get a hold of tomorrow tbh.

Is there anything else I should now about fitting renthals? Fitment of the controls etc?

I think all of them will be fine

You'll need to drill a hole in each side, as the switchgear has a locating pip. You can file it off, but then the throttle might spin round the bar

You wouldn't happen to know off the top of your head what size said holes need to be?

If not I'll just have a look at the old bars.

Just a thought but if there is a pip in the switchgear, how does one go about removing them from the current bars?

Just check your old bars when you take the switch gear off, measure the hole until you get the drill sized nearest to the hole for the pip.

To remove the switches, just undo the screws and split the switch gear, the pip will come out of the hole easy enough

I filed the little pip off and have had no problems with switch gear moving, which is lucky because I filed the little pip off ages ago before I realised what it was!

I also fitted Renthals to my pointy Sport and only needed slightly longer cables and lines, so I imagine that you will be fine.
