    trying to pick a set for the yz - which set do you guys like?

    I read this

    my limited knowledge reponses:
    -1-1/8" doesn't seem like it would add much benefit to a weekend warrior/student
    -the '94 yz bars are too low - I'd need a high rise, those bolt on risers, or both
    -isn't an "enduro" bend more back and down?

    otherwise, it seems subjective...bolt on whatever feels good

    Whatever feels good.

    the oem ktm bends suit me fine. I have some flexx bars on now, I think I'd prefer them a little wider, but that's my only gripe.
    Generally bars are something I do t give hardly a thought to, because they'll likely get bent and replaced several times over the life of a bike.

    1 1/8 bars are definintely worth it, at least for me. I've bent every type of bars except the Renthal Twinwalls, but the Renthal Fatbars lasted the longest of the rest by far. As for bend, that's a personal preference.
