Handlebar risers.....

[DK]

Just wondering how tall of a riser I would be able to put on my '05 RX-1 without having any trouble with cable length?

I havea 3-inch for mine on my 03 just bought it new but not high enough for my new bars Its a mountain machines aluminium and it is forsale in classifieds if ya want but it works fine without redoing cables, dave

Interesting. I put a 2 inch riser on my '03, rerouted the throttle cable to take advantage of any additional slack and it pulls and accelerates the throttle in a full right turn. Only by a few millimeters, but it still pulls it. I ordered an '05 mountain cable.

Not sure if your '05 is the same length as the '03, but I'd assume it is.

Ive put a two inch riser on my 03 shorty and did not move or adjust a thing. Ive ridden over 200 miles so far this year without a problem. Their is plenty of throttle cable to do a two inch rise w/out modification!!

I put a two inch Rox riser on mine and also had over rev problems. Put a 05' mountain cable on and problem solved.

Thanks trailertrash. I'm somewhat mechanically inclined and was wondering if the TORS induced backfiring during cable stretched right turns was simply my imagination.

Thanks for the info. I think that I might try a 3 in rise on mine. Since I am 6'4", I think that a inch more would be better.

i put a 3 inch riser on my 04 rx-1 and the stock throttle cable was a little snug.i put a mountian cable on and that solved the problem.

A little amount of rerouting goes along ways guys and it doesnt take much i will try to make it pull on throttle this weekend i am going to try sled out on trails

I put a 2in riser on tonight on my 04 warrior and when turn hard to the right it pulls. I have tried re routing it every which way with no sucess so I am going to put a mountain cable on and go with a 3 or 4in riser I went with the 2 so I could use the stock cable but I can't get it to work

Put on a 1.5 and when i turn hard right the throtle is too tight need to order the mountain one was it exspensive????????

I have a 05 Warrior with a Rox 5" ARC riser along with protaper 1 1/8" fat bars with a 2.80" rise. Its about 3" higher than stock, but it is also at least 2" wider that stock if not more.
