Posted May 26, 20178 yr Heli-Bar is now offering risers for the FJ-09. I have their setup on my FJR (called Heli-Bridge I think) and it is really top- notch hardware. Works great and the installation instructions are NASA quality too. www.helibars.com
May 26, 20178 yr Looks like a nice set-up giving good support and no need for longer cables & brake lines!
June 4, 20178 yr A good tip on the Helibars instructions for using a rubber-coated clamp for the front brake line where it attaches to the lower tripleclamp to allow raising the bars w/o stress on the brake line. (This clamp replaces the original Yamaha clamp.) Install instructions-https://www.helibars.com/resources/guides/645/en/HR09117_web.pdf

You don't get that very often
June 18, 20178 yr i have these installed on my bike. have not put alot of miles on them yet Did you use original cabels?
June 22, 20178 yr Installed on mine too, just the right amount of up and back. I tried standard 30mm straight up risers first and wasn't perfectly happy. My throttle cable is pretty tight when the bars are turned full right -- how is yours @jdm197 ? I adjusted it out to the point where it still works well turned full right, but now there's a little more slop than I'd like when the bars are straight. I studied the routing of the cables the other night when I did a TB sync hoping to find some easy slack, but I couldn't find any alternative way to route the cables to help. trey
July 5, 20178 yr FWIW, my solution to the tight throttle cables was to drill another locating hole in the bar so that I could rotate the throttle assembly forward as much as it would go before the cables would foul the brake lever. It's not much, but it was enough to take all of the stress off of my throttle cables and allow me to adjust the free play nice and tight like I prefer. trey
September 10, 20177 yr At the end of the helibar instructions it says adjust clutch as necessary. I kinda got these because I thought cable adjustments. Did anyone of ylu FJ09 riders get it installed no cable issues?

Did anyone of ylu FJ09 riders get it installed no cable issues? I installed mine a few weeks ago and haven't had any issues whatsoever. I cant say anything regarding the instructions, I didn't read them. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09***
