 | 01 Summit Risers ? I will start the post with saying, "I'm a newbie". I want to but a riser on my sled. (01 Summit 800) I seem to see Powermadd adds all over and want to know what to buy and what i need. Not sure on the height, what do you guys recommend? 2, 4 6 or + inches? Do I get a pivot adapter? (why would i need one) Will i need to extend my brake and throttle? Thanks again all! |

 | Re: 01 Summit Risers ? Anything more that 2" and you will need a longer brake line and throttle extension. I'm 6' tall and I put a 4" riser on my '00 summit, other guys like taller.

| Re: 01 Summit Risers ? I am 6'3" and have a 9" riser plus another 2" in my bars... I needed extended brake line, throttle and wiring. Pivot adapter is important so that the rise is going straight up versus at an angle closer to your nuts... in order to have the bars directly above the steering post get the pivot adapter. There are also way more risers to buy if you have the adapter. I might have a picture or two to show you. The first one is 6" Fly riser with pivot adapter and the second one is 7" RSI riser with pivot adapter which is now switched out for a 9" billet riser (not shown) |

| Re: 01 Summit Risers ? Originally Posted by crooklyn Me and a buddy put a 6 inch riser, and a pivot adaptor on a 99 mxz600..so 7 and a half inches... We had to put on a throttle extension, and a longer brake line, re route the hand/thumbwarmer lines, the kill switch... we got everything from royal in ontario for about 250 bucks... Buddy loved it... until.. the stem broke... first above the bushing.. then we welded a pipe inside of it... then it broke under the pipe.. that time 70km from home at 7pm... I would suggest a aftermarket steering stem with a pivot already on it, or to beef up the existing one... having the handlbars in your lap, while getting towed sucks... 
I am curious though. higher bars mean more injury in a collision? I have hit enough buried wires, and things to throw me over the handlebars .. and them being lower was a good thing I am thinking? |

| Re: 01 Summit Risers ? If you are standing up with high bars, you will still go over the hood... you may bang your thighs on the bars on the way over but they should fold flat when you hit them... I would think this would be the same for low bars too but would just hit you closer to the knee... Tall bars are SOOOOO worth it! My back thanks me every day... Being half hunched over all day is no fun! |

| Re: 01 Summit Risers ? For myself I stand up and where my hands reach naturally is how I determine how much rise I need. I am 5 foot 7 and I have 8 inch on 07xrs and stock riser on 09 xp. Different riding positions etc put my hands in different areas. I also use the adjustable riser from Monster works motion handlebar out of Edmonton area.

| Re: 01 Summit Risers ? I would personally get an adjustable riser. It is a little more expensive but I have found that having more than one position is better! |
