0 or 4 degree handlebars?

[Woody]

Whats the difference between 0 and 4 degree handlebars besides the bend (obviously)...

like are 0 degree easier to do tricks with, or is it just rider preference. I've been used to the pee-wee herman handlebars on the stock 650sx, and i just bought an 06 SJ...

just was wondering what the general consensus was on preference...

I went from 4* to 0* then on to straight and can't believe I had ridden so long with it at 4, 0* feels alot better to me. Boils down to personal preference but I loved the switch from the start.

4 degree for sure. way easier on the wrist, especially if your comin off a dirtbike IMO

 

[Woody]

so i'm gonna take it as personal preference...no difference in riding. does anybody know what the stock SJ handlebars are?

I think stock are 15 degrees...

i want to convert to straight bar soon, but 0 was way better for rec riding, gets your elbows out and upward a little more

and, it's like ride plates, and intake grates, hell ya might as well classify chics the same way.... it's all personal preference....

4 degree bars seem easier on your wrists, but you get used to 0 degree bars after a while and dont even notice it.

4 degree for me I hate 0 degree and I really hate the straight bars,yes it is personal preference for sure.I like brunettes myself.

I prefer the short OEM 650SX 30 degree bars myself. They are very easy on your wrists...





j/k, I like the X-metal straight bar set up.
