Handlebar rotation

[Rowle]

Hi all - need some advice.
I want to know if my bars are at 0 or 10 degree rotation but cannot see where the datum line is. It is a 2020 low chassis so think it should be on zero as i have never touched it from new. I have checked the manual (see pic) but it does not show much detail.
Where are yours set to ? I think it is supposed to be the gap in the clamps??

Any help appreciated.

Rowle.

Funnily enough I wondered about this too
Seems it is to do with the fitting of OE handlebar risers

But I suppose you can alter if they suit without the risers

Gap is always to the rear
The mark should line up with the front joint

I’m confused…..just rotate them to where they are comfortable

Thanks HGS- great info.
Looks like mine were set to 10 degrees out of the factory then !
Being a short arse i will drop them back and try it for while.
On full lock they will be quite near the tank though.

Cheers ��

With my tank bag on if I go full right lock it hits the kill switch!

Being a spanner I keep forgetting!!

In the low position, they are almost kissing the tank on full lock

In the high position, loads of room

I'm a short arse, but you soon get used to them being in the low position (10 weeks with a loan bike lol)

Absolutely.

Interesting though that BM feel this is a job beyond the competency of a home mechanic...
