How tall are you? I'm around 6'3". Just the 613s was great for most stuff. I've got them a bit higher now which is even better for standing, but it's right on the edge of what is comfortable sitting down.

Roll the bars as far forward in the clamps as you can before they hit the clocks on full lock. Gets them further from the pegs, which is what you are trying to do by raising them, and as a bonus, it stretches the cables a bit less.
cheers fella!

im a TINY bit under 6'4" but seem to have quite a long upper body. i liked the bit where you said "I've got them a bit higher now which is even better for standing, but it's right on the edge of what is comfortable sitting down."

i know exactly what you mean! when i first got the Ten, i rolled the bars forward and wacked on risers. When trail riding, and while stood on the pegs it was amazing! then the next ride included a long road bit.....yeah.....not so good sat down! (also, the controls feel weird)

You have to find that balance. I did think about just carrying an Allen key and rolling the bars back a bit if i have loads of road work....so tailoring the bar postion to what im riding. BUT...keep undoing the bolts probably isnt a good idea is it? (wont they wear?)

Basically i suffer from a neck/shoulder problem so i spend a lot of time (and �� ) getting my bikes to feel comfy....and im struggling with the Tenere. who knows...613's may be the answer, will hopefully find out Monday.

I pray to god my dam Barkbusters will still fit!
