Replacing the handlebars on your motorbike is more of an art than it is a science because there is so many things to navigate through. But science can be used in order to chronologically break down and form a process on how to remove and replace the handlebars on not just your very own motorcycle but any motorbike you come across be it an electrical bike or Harley. You can repair it on your own or seek the advice of expert as Toronto Electric Motor Repairs.
Fixing handlebars is one of the most important fixes one can do to their motorcycle. Not only because they control which direction you d like to go but it s where most of controls for the bike are situated. It might seem daunting due to the placement of the screws and other electrical wires that surround the column but in actuality it s an easy 5 step change.
Accuracy is key. In order to avoid spending a fortune replacing incorrect parts that were brought the first time around, it is very important that a person who seeks to make a change to their steering column pay close attention to the requirements needed in order to make a replacement and if they have chosen to go the DIY route, that the right set of tools are used in order to avoid a risk of damaging the bike.
Keep note that depending on the extent of the remodelling, replacement to the wires that connect everything may be required. Again it all depends on the handle being fitted. One should also take note not to remove any hydraulic clutches during the removal process.
On the plus side, this does give you as the owner a chance to customize where everything goes. Not so much the mirrors as you still need them to see what s going on behind you but the placement of the horn, starter, switches for what turns on what and so on. In that regard, the bike can be transformed into one that s truly one of a kind.
The fourth step is to insert the new bar until it is centered. One way to ensure that it s done right is to make a little mark on the new bar using the old bar as a reference or guide. Again different motorcycle manufacturers will have different kinds of handlebars but this method should work for all of them. Another less precise method is to insert the new bar until it s fairly centered where it ll be clamped and use the old handles placed in the same position to gauge accuracy. And there s always the option to bust out the measuring tape.
Should you get vibrations that were not there before the change, a good recommendation is to change the weight of the handle. A consideration that should have been made back when one was still deciding on what kind of handlebar to buy.
Lastly, do not forget to take the bike out for a spin to see if any of the new changes make a difference and if so, to what extent. Having the bike on the road will highlight any oddities that might need further attention and if there aren t any it s just another reason to go for a ride.
