I put Fox risers on my 2018 Triumph Tiger XRT two years ago and have never looked back. Really dialed in my riding position perfectly. I’m 5’ 10” tall with a 32” inseam. I ride with the seat in the high position. Best addition I’ve put on my bike!
Once you get used to how the bike handles again it’s so much better. Even on the xc that has the higher risers as standards I was still having to reach for the bars
Thanks. Yes, for comfort sitting and standing. Really transforms the bike. If you feel like you need some id highly recommend them.
Hi, thanks. There's plenty of space in the cables to have the risers where you need them. I've seen them in a few different locations and have all been fine
I just ordered pair. your video actually clarifies how to put them on as I was wondering about slippage with the design but haven't seen any negative comments about that. looking for more comfort, I have 3/4" risers on my bike currently which helped a little but I still need more height and to bring the bars toward a little bit to help me to deal with my back and neck issues.
I will update/reply to my own comment once installed🤙🏻
They’ll do that. Made it much more comfy to ride. I’m 6ft and even with the standard xc risers I felt I was still stretching forward to hold the bars
I just did this on my Tiger 800 XCA 2016. First l couldn't pull the bar higher, l thought l have to use longer cables but the culprit was the seat heating button. Just loose the hex screw on the left side of the button, take the thing off, and reroute the cable after you install the risers.
Did you have to take the tank off to reroute the heater cable?
One point , Its important to leave a roughly even gap on either side of the clamps
when tightening the bolts.
The way it was done in the vid you would need to loosen off the top bolts once again after the position was finalised BEFORE the bottom bolts were tightened.
Congratulations!
Bought my Riser, and I've got installed today at my house.
Your video really helped me understand what to do in my Tiger 800.
Thank you.
Thanks, Glad it could help
Cheers Muddy, even though it's not the most difficult job in the world, watching your video helped make this an easy task for me.
***** Took me 2 attempts ;-)
MuddySump Helped me out also. Is there a "Front Sprocket Switch Out Video" in the works?
No, the bikes sold now. It's simple enough to do though. Take the sprocket cover off, use a hammer and punch to knock the tab up on the lock washer then i think its a 36mm nut to take off. If you leave the back wheel and chain on and get someone to hold the rear brake on to stop the nut spinning when removing it it will be easier.
I just put these on and what a difference it has made in my comfort level and control of the bike. Just like my wife always says 'Wouldn't it be nice to add a couple inches?'... :{ Oh,well.
Great video, thanks for taking the time.
+sean n :-D
I never had any issues with vibes. I heard some people say they got them when fitting these risers and wish they bought the anti-vibe ones but I've had no problem with them.
Just fitted a set to my 16 800xrt, nice easy fit thanks to your video 👍🏻
Thanks
Thanks so much for your videos. I just purchased a Tiger 800 XC and your videos are most helpful.
Thanks. Its an excellent bike, hope your happy with it
Just picked up a set for my tiger 800 xc picking them up today so pumped to improve my comfort gonna use your video to help me. Cheers
No worries. The difference they make is amazing.
That's what I want! to get a "right angle" confort position!
Thank You.
They're excellent, make such a difference to the comfort of the bike
Thanks. Im planning a trip at the end of the month that will hopefully get me a couple of thousand miles closer to it :-)
Mine are from SW Motech and also 2 centimeters,it's really much better off road standing up.
And up to 2 cm increase you don't need to install new cables.
am i the only one who had a scary ride with them risers?(2015 tiger 800xca , fitted them by the book, bought torque wrench, 35nm/8mm&26nm/6mm)
after 5 miles leading to and 35 miles on the motorway, my hands were numb, strange
than twisties... jeeez, it felt as if i was hoovering or aquaplaning(front&back...back!!!!htf!!!
i only played with the front/risers) and the buzzing between 45m/h&60m/h?
just took them off and i'll ride it tomorrow, but for now i've not only fell out of love with my tiger... i'm king of scared of riding it
ps. i've checked the suspension settings, tyre pressure etc.... and i've riden it yesterday
btw. really appreciate sharing of your knowledge and expertise MuddySump
+76CzarekP didn't have anything like that with mine but I think some have for some reason.
not happy for them 'some' but if i'm not the only one with this problem i'm starting to look forward to tomorrows ride, instead of dreading it
thanks MuddySump, much appreciated
Congrats for the usefull videos! Please tell me, I have already the 20mm motech risers, but I think are not enough. If I install the ROX rizers over my moteck, do you think I have problem with the lengh of the attached cables? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work! Tiger XC here.
+Giannis Christianidis hi. You will probably be limited with the positions you can get the bars in with both the risers
Great video 👍
Thanks
Nice vid dude! I've heard of people fitting to stop vibration through the bars? Do you have issues with vibes on the bike and did these make any difference? Thx again matey - top vid!
Thanks for putting up all this info for the Tiger 800! I pick mine up in the spring and will be using your videos to help me maintain my bike. I have the XCA version and want put the 2" Rox risers on right away. I didn't notice any cable routing issues in the video but just wanted to confirm with you that the 2" riser installs without the need for longer or re-routed cables? Thanks Muddy!
Hi. No the cables were fine. Might depend on the angle you have them set to though
I’ve a triumph tiger 800 xca would these Rox risers fit on the bike with plenty of room for cable movement.
Mine was the xc with the same risers as standard. They fit on still but you can’t fit them at any angle. Still got to make sure the cables can move freely
hello. I just installed these risers on my Tiger 800 after watching your video. thank you! One issue: Because I tightened the 8mm bolts first and then the 6 mm ones after I was done with the whole setup, after tightening everything, I noticed a bit of a gap left between the 6mm clamps that tighten the risers to the bike. I took a picture but not sure how to reply with it here. Did you have the same issue and that is ok, or should I redo everything?
Hi. That's normal, there is a gap in them when just the bars are clamped in too
All of your videos are very good I want to ask you whether to install Rox handlebar upward We need to put new for being very high wires or are the originals that brings the tiger 800 xc
Interestingly the supplied instructions say m6 10nm and m8 20nm
Can’t remember them coming with instructions. The torque settings I gave were the triumph settings
I can't undo the initial 6mm and 8mm bolts, they are rock solid. Tried some serious force, along with some thread penetration oil and still nothing. I'm worried about cracking the frame they are bolted in to. Any suggestions?
Some water must have got to the bottom of the screws and seized them in. Can only keep trying what you’re already doing but the fasteners could break.
Another great video. Have you raised the bars for comfort?
Thank you very much for everything
Just fitted a set of these to my 2013 XC ABS, they went on fine but I'm having a slight issue with the cables/wiring (throttle is OK in both locks, brake hose OK too) - The cables and wiring were clear of everything before but now they're a little tight and lay against the neck tubes of the frame and the top fork clamps. The bars move freely lock-to-lock but there are some creaking noises when I do this.. Any advice ?...
They can’t get set to every angle because of the cable length. Could see if there’s and play left in the cables to pull them through the frame a bit more.
Thanks so much for this. May I ask what you needed risers? This is one of the rare bikes that I have not been able to do a review on. Thinking of buying one soon. Liked and subbed.
+123JumpingJacks just brought the bars up for a more comfy riding and standing position
Great instructional video. Do you know if the anti vibe version will fit? Are the anti vibe worth it?
Thanks. Anti vibe ones fit the same way. I never felt any vibration through mine but I know people have said they did on their bike then bought the anti vibe ones after.
I don't have a torque wrench as well, shall i use loctite while installing or will it be fine without? Thank you so much for these vids, you help is greatly appreciated.
Don’t need loctite
@@MuddySump So just tighten to "fairly tight" and maybe carry the allen keys with you to check after a few km's?
Wheelie Perd yes
Another good vid Muddy.
Will the anti vibration version fit a Tiger 800? And do you think they're worth the extra $$$?
I think they do fit but you are limited with the angles they can go at because of the nuts at the bottom unless you have got the XC that has the higher risers on already. I never had any problem with vibration on mine but I know some people have said the vibrations are horrible with them fitted (the standard ones)
Yup, mine's an XC.
Hello thanks for the video. A suggestion. I've the same Tiger and same color of the bar, which color of Rox it's better?
+Maurizio Marchetti which ever one you like best :-)
Thanks for the great video. One thing I don't get. If I rotate the risers too much backwards or forwards there is no access to tighten the Bults.Also, how do you know how much torque to use (in all your videos?)Thanks.
Need to tighten the ones you're going to cover up first then move the riders into place and tighten the other ones. Torque settings are on my website for the different videos. Or do you want to know how I know them?
+MuddySump thanks buddy. I guess you simply learned then from Triumph? I would like to set up a small tool kit to take on journeys but I think a torque wrench will be too big especially for tire replacement. I guess I'll have to use common sense and not over tighten things while in the bush. Great vids. I will donate ASAP.
Yea. I had to check a few but some your undoing and tightening all the time so just remember. Wouldn't bother with a torque wrench for a bike toolkit. The amount of times you'd actually use it it wouldn't be worth carrying it around. Would prob be quiet bug too to get to 110nm
Hello! How tall are you? I ordered risers as you already had sw motech installed. Now I'm worried that I need another option (20+30)
I didn’t have any other risers fitted. That’s the standard xc clamps that the Rox risers are in. I’m 6ft
@@MuddySump oh sorry. I posted the question in the wrong video. I watched the video: man bought sw-motech and they were not comfortable for him: ua-cam.com/video/Xqs8HonHqjk/v-deo.html
Hey Muddy. I'm trying to install these risers on my Tiger 800, but for the life of me, I cannot get the hex head bolts that hold the handlebars off. I'm using fairly heavy duty allen keys, and I can feel the allen key bend but the bolts won't budge. Any suggestions?
Might just be a bit corroded. Give a squirt of wd40 around the screws and let it soak in for a bit. Definitely turning them the right way? Loosen the 6mm one first
+MuddySump Yeah, sprayed some WD40 and let it sit for a bit. That did the trick. Thanks!
Would these work (with the correct handlebar diameter) for the 800 abs? My concern are cable lengths. Thank you. Great series!
I’ve seen them on abs models. You can’t always get them in every position though due to the cable lengths, that’s the same as the none abs models too
Thank you. Their website says yes, maybe I will get lucky. Cheers!
Changing handle bar to bit lower? It effect the performance of bike. Is there anything wrong?
+Haroon Rashid shouldn’t effect performance at all. It’s just the bars been lowered
MuddySump thank you so much for mentoring
If I am interested in mainly moving the bars closer to me on a 2012 Tiger XC, would I tighten the 2 bottom screws down first, rotate towards me, and then tighten the upper screws? It seems I would be covering the bottom screws when I pulled the bars towards me. Also, what color riser are you using? Clear anodized? Thanks.
+shafferl56 hi. Yes, tighten whichever ones you are going to cover up first. Don't think there was a choice of colours when I got mine. Must be the clear anodised one
Easy peasy, are these mainly for when standing up?
Both. Made it more comfortable when sitting too
Did you have to change clutch line or other cables ?
No, everything kept standard. You can’t get it in every possible position due to the length of the cables. Was fine where I had mine though.
@@MuddySump , thanks for the info…
I know this is a late comment given the year the video was published, but what size Alan key is the top set of bolts? Can't seem to find one that fits. Thanks
The bolts on the risers are 6mm. The bolts on the original clamps are 8mm and 6mm.
Thanks
Great thanks, managed to get some new handlebars fitted.
Whilst on the topic, I was wondering if you could maybe help me out?
I had a crash on my 2011 Tiger 800, needed a few new parts. I fitted new handlebars, clutch lever, left side fairings and left front indicator. I am now at the problem of having no response from the ignition switch.
The bike starts up fine electronically, the usual "start up" whirring noise when you turn the key, but there is no response from the ignition switch. The clutch is definitely in, and the kickstand is up, but there is no noise when the ignition is pressed.
I've tested the current to the switch with a multimeter and there's definitely power to the console, and the kill switch is in the "off" position.
I can't think of anything else and wondered if you may be able to help?
Do you know if there would be anything else "blocking" the bike from starting?
Sorry been working and never had time to reply. Did you have any luck with it yet? Has the battery got enough power to turn the bike over? It could still power up but not have enough to turn over. Make sure the clutch switch is going in properly, could try taking switch out of the lever housing and using your finger on it instead?
I just tried it with an external battery charger attached and it's still the same. I'm unsure where the "clutch switch" would be inside the lever housing?
If you take the clutch lever off and look inside where it is fitted too you will see the switch then. It's like a rod the lever sits against. If you can't see it It could of pulled out of the bracket when fitting the risers?
Mine is really vibey at 400 rpm
Some people’s were for some reason. Didn’t notice it on mine. Maybe it’s a different position
Hi Muddy, what finish are those risers ?
Hi. It's a polished alloy
Hi mate fitted arrow can to my xc800 do ya need it remapping or not
+Stephen holmes you don't have to but there is an arrow map for it.
MuddySump how much is it to get done and do u do it
on your tiger did you get numb hands or is it just me
Mine were fine. A few people have said they got vibration from them though
MuddySump its a second hand tiger 2012 with 15k miles on it. I plan to get it into my local dealer for for new tyres and balanced and go from there
Its not dangerous to add riser fast speed
Don’t know, better to ask the company of the ones you’re fitting
@@MuddySump you dont know if its danger to your mototrcycle
@@iansian829 nothing ever happened to me
@@MuddySump so its safe
