just added a new bike to my collection - a 2006 RM85 for my son. have a question about the top-bar on the handlebars. i think i bent it when transporting. i had to crank down the front suspension to fit in the back of my truck (w/ cap) and used a ratchet tiedown from front wheel to topbar to suck out a few inches of height. now there appears to be a small kink in the topbar :bang: (of course i never noticed if there was one in it initially, but don't think so). the welds to the handlebars look ok. question is, should i replace the handlebars?

guess i have to agree - i can flex the bars with one hand...
guess i will do this when i add the new levers too -- kids spoiled with the asv levers and wants them on everything now... oh well, its my 2nd childhood too :cool:
If it's the stock bars they were going to need to be replaced ASAP anyway as they would bend if you looked at them funny.[/QUOTE]
:rotfl: my CR85R E stock bars are pretty cheesy too. today at cooperland i took a little spill coming over a jump to fast and bent my bars a bit. im going to replace them with some renthal bars.
