    My Impressions of the MV Motorrad Bar Riser

    Mihalis, please add me to your club. I just went for a 50 mile ride. Wrists did not get numb. Shoulder did not ache. When braking, I did not have to push myself back in the seat. Everything just felt better. Thanks to those on the forum for such great advice. Thanks to MV Motorad for a great...

    My Impressions of the MV Motorrad Bar Riser

    Done. I went for a very short ride. My shoulders and hands seemed to relax and I did not feel forced into the handlebars when braking. I'm looking forward to a longer ride. We are expecting a lot of rain today. Once the difficult bolt was sorted out, installation went pretty smooth. I did have...

    My Impressions of the MV Motorrad Bar Riser

    My riser arrived today. It's a beautiful piece. I do have a bone to pick with Mother Yamaha. The small hexkey bolt that holds the "L" bracket to the top block of the brake hydraulic lines must have red loctite. The bottom bolt that holds the three together did. After an hour I recruited my...

    My Impressions of the MV Motorrad Bar Riser

    I placed my order with MV on 7/29/17. It's not here yet. I am glad I found is thread. I get sore shoulders and numb hands. It appears that this may do the trick. My price shipped in US dollars was $225.

    2015 new $10250 OTD!

    From what I understand they have or had a bunch of them. Yamaha made them a deal on a batch. I ran into someone with one at "First Sunday" in Ephrata, PA in November. I'm surprised there are still some available.

    Screwing up a coolant change

    Thanks for your help. Is there a way to avoid air pockets. Fill radiator very slowly?

    Screwing up a coolant change

    I just topped off the radiator and it is behaving. Fans came on at 220 and the temperature dropped 10-12 deg. I let them cycle twice. I'm letting it cool now and will check the levels. I may have panicked prematurely. Thanks

    Screwing up a coolant change

    I have a 2013. I drained the coolant from the pump. Emptied and refilled the tank. Filled the radiator ( capped it?) and ran it. Fans came on but temperature continued to rise. Allowed to cool some topped off radiator and ran it with cap off. Same story fans came on an temp did not drop. Temp...

    Mode switch

    I'm over 11,000 with my '13 and still leave the turn signals on. I'm considering super gluing my glove to the switch.

    Damn ....... It did it again

    I'm good. It ran great on a 200 mile ride. Must have been a senior moment. Tires are both at 41.
