well got my hohey set up last weekend and i put some dirt bike bars on today and i would like to know how anyone else that has them routes there throttle cables without them binding would be really helpfull maybe even post some pics plz

*trix*

through the middle of the bars thats how I do mine on my 05 and i love it

once you re rout them you have to mess with the addjusters on the line or they will keep binding. some bikes dont do it but i have put 4 pairs of DB bars on 636s and 3 of the 4 had to be readjusted or no matter what you did they would bind

Anyone have any pics that have handbrake and clutch and controls

i tried to route mine over the tripple and betwen the db bar mounts but the cables definetly to short do i need to take the cables out of that metal braket that is under the gas tank so there more free cuz as of now if i turn hard right the hohey bracket pinches them grrrrrrrr just wana run db bars

ATOWN1101

no they should run str8 behind the fork tubes and up to the bottom of the bar. you do not need to take off the gas tank.

Thats how ive always seen them done

finnaly got the throttle cables done but now my next problem happened the brake line was like 4 inches to short so took one of my ktm and used it but damn the brakes i cant get them to bleed is there a special sequence since there is 2 calipers or do u have to take the calipers off the bike?

Bleed the farther caliper first, longer line, and if u wanna speed things up finda clear hose that's tight on bleeder nipple and put on n open bleeder n suck on hose. Soon as u see fluid in hose about an inch close bleeder n remove hose. Do closer caliper same way. Then bleed regularly and done. Yeah sucking on the hose is dirt n sounds gay but not everyone has 50 bucks fora vacume bleeder and I'm not patient. Hope it helps ya..

hey where did u get those dirt bar clamps and how much???

MUCH EASIER WAY TO BLEED BRAKES---

get a small hose the will fit over the bleeder nipple and then a small contaner to bleed the fluid into bleed on calip at a time and keep pumping and adding flid to the master and keep the hose in the fluid that got bled out this works everytime no air can get back in because the hose is in fluid and it sucks some back up instead of air do the same on the other side should be good got this method from G-REG

engineman44

ok thanks got them bled but those clamps came with a gsxr that i bought last year i have some more that came with the bike that i will sell will post a pic of those

I like your mirror... thats a good idea

engineman44

Yeah its from RV section at walmar they have adjustable and non adjustable mine u can adjust so I took the cheap tape off loosened the thing to keep the kid on hot glued it then tightened the cap holder back against the mirror so it keeps it from vibrating out of adjustment just so u know the best way to do it ... Cause I had a bunch of trial and error .

Quick question... for anyone. When using dirt bars do u need to use a longer clutch cable? If u do what clutch cable do ya use on a zx6 05-06 .. don't mean to jump on if thread man. Just thought someone here could help me.

engineman44

see i had the same problem i raised mine so much that i needed to get a longer brake line cable but the awnser for your clutch cable is no make sure that the thing (bracket)under your gas tank that normally holds your throttle cables is removed and on mine i had to run the clutch cable inbetween the barmounts and under the bars ..... that was my situation
