Raising handle bars, advice? - SV650.org

31-08-08, 05:51 PM

Right o', still got me lil sv650. Riding recently has been getting harder and harder since my many injuries, aches and pains are catching up with me.

I've been looking around a bikes with a more upright riding position, such as the MT-03, but have been told that I'm likely to get hacked off with the lack of torque and power a V-twin has, that it's a town bike not an open road bike. And since me and the sv do a fair bit of mileage, I
wondered what might be the obvious solution...

Raise the handle bars perhaps? Alter the riding position a little? Has anyone done this to their nakid sv? All tips, and photo's greatly appreciated.

You can get some Renthals to help improve the riding position to suit you, may need longer cables though depending how far back/up you need to go.
