samandkimberly Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I find the Montesa handlebars too low too, but this is my first year on a modern trials bike, and I'm loathe to change them until I'm certain it's the bars and not my riding posture that's wrong! I find myself putting a lot of weight on the bars and it wears me out. Is this a newbie thing, or should I try spacers/higher bars? FWIW, I'm about 5"9" tall. RE: clutch, read through this forum and you'll find a lot about the 315 clutch. Try changing the oil, first thing. As far as which type of oil, read the posts and make up your mind; there's a lot of opinions on that. I'm a Dextron convert myself.

the addict Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Your bars may just be to far forward, so you naturally lean over the front. You can get higher bars, up to 6 inches I think for Renthal, dropping the forks through the yolks can also help with the feel of the bars. Bar risers are great, different sizes and easy to fit, I used these on the 07 Caby as the bars were a design for the man himself, way to low for me.
