When riding a motorcycle or even a bike, it is necessary to angle the position of the one driving into a comfortable posture. This is possible to obtain once the bagger handlebars are adjusted high enough. Positioning the handlebars too low that it should be may cause discomfort when riding the bike. There is nothing to worry about though because there is an easy way of adjusting it as long as a rider is guided on what are the steps that needs to be done.
Before the exact process of adjustments, knowing what king of handlebars a rider is using is necessary. There are two types of it namely threaded and the other one is thread less, this two does not have the same methods when it comes to its adjustments. The easiest way to determine which is which would be through finding the spacers below and above the handlebar stem. If there is one, then that is thread less, if none then most likely it is the other class.
To start adjusting the thread less one, begin by loosening up all the screws found at back parts of handlebars. This are all at the back and may commonly be called as pinch bolts as well. Either hex key or Allen wrench may be used on the process so long as it fits the screws so it can be removed. After unscrewing everything, proceed to removing of top cap.
Insert neither wrench nor hex key into the bolt at the top then turn it, so that in a counterclockwise motion. Once that is successfully removed, it is time to have the spacers slide off then set it aside along with the bolts. Remove the handlebars off the bike then set it aside too.
Add more spacers on the stem of the bike to position it way higher than it was before. After adding enough of it and feeling like the height is enough to feel comfortable when riding, everything can be installed back to the bicycle like it normally was. Make sure to tighten the grip of all bolts to prevent unnecessary motions that may cause unbalancing when taking a ride.
If threaded type is the one that is owned then basically a rider has the longer stems that are fitted in the bike frame. This one has no spacers at all but has one bolt attached at the back part of it. On the other hand, it may also be a plastic ring that are attached on same back area.
First step with this one is measuring the length between the upper parts of stem to the exact bike frame. Be mindful of the exact measurement and take note of it if possible. This is in case there is a need of reverting it back to its normal height because the adjustment was not as comfortable as expected then this can be done easily.
After which, start unscrewing the bolt using the same tools that can be used with the thread less type. The motion should be of counterclockwise, then turn it for about five times to successfully have it loosen. Then, the stem can be moved freely on an up or a down motion depending on which adjustment is desired.
Just make sure that when adjusting its height, it does not go beyond the marking that serves as guide on how high the handlebar should go. Raising it way beyond that would mean danger when riding the bicycle. Once the exact position desired is already achieved then go ahead and finish it through keeping it straight while tightening it on its top screw.
