stem size

[400exrider36]

gotta quick question. im getting a houser steering stem with oversized tag t2 bars. should i get a +1 size stem or +2. i want to get a +2 but my friend believes my handlebars will be really really high. i think they will be close to my old 400ex handlebar height, with just pro taper atv high bars,,, being that yfz's have a short stem/low handlebars to begin with...so yeah, +1 or +2?

+1 will get your YFZ feeling better, +2 is too tall depending on your height.

[400exrider36]

yeah, im 5'10" so maybe ill just go with +1

I am not sure about te YFZ but on the 400ex anything much over a +1 starts to cut it real close with your control cable lengths.

By the way where about in wisconsin are you from. I am in Fond du Lac.

o nuts!! that right, im going to have to get a longer brake line cause it connects right by the upper stem mount, its barley long enough with stock handlebars. o by the way i live in Brule if you know where that is, about 25 mi east of superior...

I bet the trails rock up there. The farthest I usually make it north is 20 miles north of Antigo where our cabin is. There is some pretty good trails there.

CR-hi will probably feel more comfortable, wider bars so it'll make turning easier.

that brake line will actually work all the way to a plus 2 stem, you just have to take it loose from that little bracket

o good, thanks for the good news:p

[400exrider36]

according to the tag website, the cr-hi bend is their lowest bend, with the +1 stem, will the new bars be higher than the stock bars/stem?
