Fmx 650 handlebar help

[Adam180t]

Hi there got a honda fmx 650 and want to change the bars to renthal braced ones was wondering if anyone else on here has changed theirs and what to

[RhynoCZ]

Do you own a caliper and can you actually use it? If so, then just measure the diameter of the OEM bars and then buy the Renthal's of the same diameter.

I mean this:

Haha yes I do but I know they are 22 mm lol I just mean the overall fitment for cables comfort that kinda stuff really it's got renthals on it but have no idea what they are they are road ones 808 but can't find any info on these at all

It's a reasonable question, but there are very few of those bikes around.

Are you intending to go higher or lower? If lower, then no problem (sort of). The cables and hose will take it with some fiddling even if you end up re-routing them the wrong way around the headstock.

If you go higher, the cable and hose won't fit and you'll need longer ones, unless the bars narrow as much as they rise.

What are you planning, and are you prepared to replace your cabling and brake hose?

It isnt expensive to make up control cables and have a long brake line made.

Id also look at the SLR650 and fx650 for bits as all three are basically the same bike.
