[QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 97643, member: 20316"] Hello, as you all know I recently bought a 01 EXC 200. Well, I love the bike and I've been riding a lot of mx as well as woods. I just have some questions on ergonomics. I am 5'7" and fairly long-legged--I wear a 34" inseam in jeans. Now we moved the bars back one position, but I still cannot get comfortable on the bike in some situations. I find myself hunching over a lot causing my lower back and stomach muscles to tire, cramp and get extremely sore. I'm not sure exactly what to do. I do stand up a lot. The hardest thing is going up hills--standing up, keeping my weight forward, knees pressed against the shrouds, elbows up and not doing the death grip thing is awkward. I always end up either dropping my elbows causing arm pump or shifting my weight too far back causing back pain. What am I doing wrong? What has worked for all of you as far as bar height, position, bend and width? It just feels wrong. [/QUOTE]
