I have a 02 416ex. I bought it with Elka/arens Long travel. It has a +1 Stem and Tag Bars (not sure the bend) Well I am used to riding my banshee with a +1 stem and CR High Bend bars. It feels like I am riding a chopper. That is how I want my 400 set up. I want the chopper feel but I don't want to spend money on a new stem. I have adjusted the bar up, but now they have too much of a angle up bend were the grips are. I am not sure what kind of bars to buy. I think if the bars were raised about 1 inch and set foward another inch. I would be more confortable. I feel like I have too much bend in my elbows and I get just as bad arm pump as I did with the banshee if not worse. I bought this quad cuz I thought I could ride it longer when racing XC.

Thanks

Might try the: "ATV high bend" I don't think they are the CR style though. Take some measurements of your current bend and then compare them to the other bars. Renthal and TAG make good bars.

you might want to look in to rox risers. they allow you to adjust the position of the bars.

I don't know if you know or not, but the last 2 races at Baer Field have been cancelled. The next race isn't until the end of August now.

Because they were unable to get the woods from the airport.
