Those bars looks about 30 degrees too radical to work on the RXS. Will be a challenge to get the throttle cable straight enough to work properly from there, I would say.
This works for me:

Cheers for that pic 27cows, good to know as a reference! Yes that's not the final angle of them, need to get the throttle cable seated and routed properly so it's not revving it's nuts off and probably try angling bars a little more forwards like yours. Look like the same bars so should be fine!

Cheeers
It's certainly a fun little bike, and it's great that it's working even when it's not working properly if that makes sense. I used it for 2 days with a dodgy idle (would die at lights if not revved) and really down on power.
Still a bit of work to do but getting there, I'm just glad I got the MOT done with no advisories. I'd wiped the leaking fork seal outside the test centre ____________________ Yamaha RXS 100 > Honda CD 250 > Honda Hornet 600 > Honda CBR 600RR > Yamaha RXS 100 > Kawasaki ZX6R J2 > Yamaha FZ1 |

So I haven't had too much time on this recently, but just sorted a blocked idle jet in the carb and seems to be running better now.. will be riding to the Ace Cafe shortly with a friend to meet Carvel, will see how it goes on the way there and back
My fork seal on left fork is leaking, but both forks seem to be a bit bent. I sourced some used but good condition off ebay which seem to have a good seal and straight, will just be changing the oil out of those shortly to replace current forks.

Thanks! Yes, much more comfortable. Took the bike to work yesterday and was great through Central London traffic, the Renthals make it easy to flick about through buses and cabs, and feels like a classic bike now. Funnily enough it pretty much takes the same amount of time to get to work on it as it does on my CBR
Very glad I did it! I rate Renthals very highly, I put a set of black Renthal Ultra Lows on my Hornet - but these are Lows and I think perfect for the bike size. Slightly wider than standard but MUCH lighter, and lower. The controls were a cinch to fit on too.
Still got bar ends / bar end mirrors to go on so watch this space ____________________ Yamaha RXS 100 > Honda CD 250 > Honda Hornet 600 > Honda CBR 600RR > Yamaha RXS 100 > Kawasaki ZX6R J2 > Yamaha FZ1 |
