Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

So i´ve searched the forum and found only one with this mod "Kirk"...
I was looking for comments on how that feels....also....do one have to drill out those screws??

yer you got to drill / press em out.

If you look @ my triple clamp setup, its basically under the triple clamp.


It feels REALLY low.. a touch too low for the street. Sure on the track its perfect (for me).. but long rides, it does get a bit tiring.

I never do long rides and feel like my short arms struggle when doing kneedraggin´ ...AKA inspired driving....

Hey guys,
I've swapped mine back and forth a few times to check that I still like the feeling, and I always decide I prefer the clipons lower. It just seems to transmit more 'feeling' from the front tyre, plus gives a more stable front end feel, plus lets you be a bit more aggresive throwing the bike around which is how I like it. On the other hand I have two other things to add with this mod to my advantage: one is I fitted rearsets (after dropping the clipons) and together they just work well, the second thing is I'm only 26 so I don't have any back/wrist problems!! (Well I'm not going to talk about my wrist problems here anyway! )

Clip ons under the yoke feel fine, feels more sports and puts a little or in my case alot more weight over the front wheel...

Ive got my clipons underneath and quite like it. I cant move them back anyhow 'cos of the fairing.
