Up until now i had been running a stock length stem but recently i have felt uncomfortable on the bike and my knees hit the bars when i turn. I was thinking about running a +2 stem and i saw on walsh's website that they have a +1 forward stem. Does anyone have this stem or a +2, if so how tall are you and what bar bend do you run. Thanks

I run a Gibson +1 steering stem,with the high bend Fasst Flex bars-this makes it about +2.It is very high and the throttle just makes it-when I turn the revs go up slightly.

dude I ran a +1 up +1 forward stem on my YFZ and it was badass. And you are like a foot taller then me so it would probably work pretty decent for you.
