How to Install MV Motorrad Risers on a 2016 FJR1300 

So how is your feeling now ? Better ?

Did the risers help at all?

@@leoclement3801 I've just put it on my bike few weeks ago and it's a real changing, for the back, the neck and the wrists, for moving it on low speed,... i recommend you ! ( i am 1,85m ) It's a little expensive, but for the benefice you have, it's nothing ;)

Hey Sergio thought I would ask you if these adjusters helped with forearm burning issues and other issues that come with the fjr’s. I’m naturally taller with longer arms so I don’t mind having my arms stretched out straight but my right forearm burns really bad because of the angle of the handle bar

@@tommyv22222 how's it going. For me the handle bar extension works well. I'm only 5'8" and still felt like I was reaching for the bars. I was feeling it more on my sholders and upper back. Also my hands tend to go numb after riding for a while. More the left hand. Nothing on my forearms. Now i sit very comfortably and upright. Maybe if you get the risers your not putting too much pressure on your forearms. But not sure if the riser will help you out.

@@sergioamescua6264 I have a Gen 2 2008 And came with 1 inch risers which seems to be all right but it could just be where I am used to my older sport bike that has clip on‘s The weird thing is I can ride that for two hours and not feel nothing but when I have my handlebars on my FJR in the far back position with the 1 inch riser that’s when I feel at the most when I move them to the Forward most position it doesn’t seem to hurt as bad It also came with Cupped tires so the bike doesn’t track straight and I realized the other day that I had to kind of use more pressure with my right arm to keep it straight so I’m thinking that and also the throttle and not being used to that position could be causing my forearm to be burning. Well I appreciate you getting back to me I’m going to replace my tires and see if it stops and if it doesn’t my next step will be the MV Motorad adjustable riser and hopefully by being able to straighten out the handlebar a little bit it will make all the difference I noticed my arms with the angle now have a weird kink in them So maybe that 20° adjustment angle will make all the difference thanks again I appreciate it and be safe riding!!!

Nope...never needed a brake extension cable. I didn't do any adjustments outside of my video. I still have my FJR that's in this video and ride it nearly everyday. I love it, and my MV risers...no regrets!! If you get the MV risers, make sure you get the correct one for your year of FJR...and I can't remember if it differentiates if yours is an A or AE model.

Did you end up buying the MV and if so, how do they compare to the helibar?

@@leoclement3801 no I didn’t .

I still have my bike and love my risers. I'm 5'9", inseam is 31.5"

Gosh...it has been a while. But I can tell you, on my previous gen FJR, my right hand did fall asleep with the original setup to the point where I had to rest for a few minutes. With my current setup, I have a crampbuster on my throttle, which helps a bunch. I do remember, on the original setup, I had to lean forward more, so this put pressure on my hands. Yes, with this particular riser...the MV Motorrad, you are able to adjust the handle bars to different angles and how forward or back you want your setup to be. I love my risers, and will definitely install them on my future FJRs.

@@vickip Great thank you so much !! Be safe

Hi. Just wondering if you ever figured out if these handlebar risers do fit on your 2021 FJR model. I have a 2022 model and wondering the same thing before I order it. Their website says 2013+. Let me know if you can please. Thanks. Dan

Congrats on the install. No, I did not have to re-route the cables. Maybe my FJR or the 2016 had slightly longer cables. I don't remember if I have the riser plate all the way towards the seat...not sure if that's a factor.

@@vickip Ok Vicki, got it. This morning I plan on pushing the plate a bit forward (towards cluster gage) to see if I can get some additional slack. Again, issue with the install is with the right side. Harness leading to the right handle is very tight in my mind and clipping the ziplock ties on the left is only releasing one or two of the cables leading to the right handle, not all of them!). So we’ll see...Thanks much!!!

@@yl4970 Did your issue get resolved yet? Am curious as I plan to invest in the MV as well but have been reluctant all along not knowing how to manage cables.

@@ShujaKidwaiMasauliwala Had to adjust the handle to a wider angle than I originally wanted… I am managing and the riser plate itself is crafted professionally.. However I don’t believe the overall design is flexible enough to allow complete freedom in adjusting angle of handles and movement of plate backwards toward rider. Again, it is all about creating too much of tension to the throttle cable assembly…

Hi, @@yl4970 and @Vicki P, I've found some videos warning for this risers failing, as leaving the handlebar loose. Do you, or anybody here, knows anything about this? Thanks.

Hi Rosario, back in 2018, I paid $265.50 with shipping and everything for the risers directly from MV Motorrad. I provided the links in the description under the video. You just need to select which year and type of FJR you have, or just go to their website directly. I received the risers from them very fast...I believe it was one week after I placed the order. It comes from Europe.

I just pulled the blocks back and they didn't cause damage. I had to place a screwdriver into the hole as leverage to pull back so I could align the holes. It was a pain in the butt to line up, but very doable...just takes a little patience.

@@vickip Ok, thanks

Vicki P someone told me you have changed spark plugs and performed a carb sync since installing this handlebar riser. Did you have enough clearance to raise the tank past the riser? If so, did you video the procedure so we can see how the clearance works out? Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Great information.

@@igetthepic , Yes, since the riser install with my final adjustment, I have replaced my spark plugs and completed a throttle sync. I had clearance to loosen and/or remove the tank bolts, raise my tank, and to place a book (or brace) to keep the tank lifted so I could work underneath. This riser is AWESOME!! Quality it top notch!!

Yes, you can adjust the angle of the handlebars to how you like them.

@@vickip Thanks

Thanks!! I didn't have to pay taxes. Shipping was 53 Euros at the time...which currently equals $60. I received the riser through UPS.

Thanks

Websites are listed in the description.

Thanks Vicki, I purchased one and can't wait to install it.@@vickip

That's great Ross, good luck with your install! Did you get the riser that fits your year FJR? There are a couple of different sizes

I hope so ,I ordered the 2006-2013 , I have a 2011 1300ABS.

I use Tekton click torque wrenches...purchased them from Amazon and they've worked great!!!

always has to be one dickhead.

Did you mean me? All of you who haveinstalled the Mv board on the FJR 1300 turn the steering wheel to the right. The problem is the hydraulic hose. Sand the lock housing below.So solve the problem. Viki didnt say that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
