I just installed my bars today with your help. A couple of things to make it easier for the next guy... 1. There's no need to remove the throttle side grip since it is on the throttle tube and not the bar. 2. The factory grips don't have any glue on them, just pressure fit, so I used a straw to blow some soapy water up under the grip and it slid right off with zero damage to the bar or grip.
Man I had been wanting to get the sport bars for a while but was hesitant cuz this is my first bike and I'm not too knowledgeable yet and was afraid they'd be too hard to Install. But I found your video and realized they're easy to do and bought em that night. Got them in today and used this video as a visual reference along with the instructions. So thanks a lot man, I absolutely love them!
I just got mine in the mail this evening, I was gonna bring it to a shop but thanks to your vid u just saved me like $90. I have a lime green 09 650r. I'm really excited to install them and ride the bike. Thumbs up to u.
Thanks buddy - watched this before installing mine. Only difference is the latest bars come with two locator holes on both bars so they are identical (you just have to pick the right one for each side). Other than that the process was just the same and I got them installed nice and easily - thanks for taking the time to make the video; you did a great job of it and it definitely made my life easier. Ride safe. :)
Thanks for sharing. I'll add your notes to the description if anyone else needs it. Yes, you are right with the throttle grip. I wish I had realized this before I did my install. Lol. Congrats on the new bars. Enjoy!
Lol... I thought the exact same thing before I bought mine. Saw one on TH-cam that had the "ninja" on it and wish I could get it. But after having mine, I could care less what it says. The handling is just so much better! Love these bars.
@msalad18... No problem. That's awesome that you will be installing them on your bike. Yes, I love it. It definitely took some getting used to but the handling is GREAT! I have a video on my channel of a ride through Mulholland Hwy before the install. I will be making one this weekend of a ride after the install so you will be able to compare the two. And YES, I did have to face the levers more downward. They were way too high and in a very awkward position.
Well I appreciate how you make me understand what I prefer and make like #1 choice by putting up your videos here. That saves a LOT of wasted shitmistakes, money and time . Thanks Bro
I also installed these bars 2months ago V3. I wish they still had the previous version which had "Ninja" instead of "sport bars". The instructions also recommended to use " blue loctite". I only used it on the main center screws and the ones that hold the bars.
Great! Hope this was helpful to your installation. I've never heard of this technique to avoid the pinching of the cables. I'll try and find it myself and put the link up in the description. Thanks!
Sounds great, bro. I love the green on the newest models and the new 650s are so nice! You will love the sport bars. The 2 bros black series was my second choice for exhaust, but I ended up choosing the ARROW. It has an awesome sound! You should check out my other comparison video.
Pretty cool. I just installed mine on my 2012. Everything went fine, except that I had to destroy my left grip to get it off...little bugger. I'll just buy a new on in the morning. So, I was taking to the guys who designed and sell these, and they said there is a way to prevent that break cable from hitting your dash at full lock. It requires re-situating it using some "banjo" tie technique. I have no clue. I'll Google it.
I agree. I asked 650rshop why they changed it and They said kawasaki told them too or will face "legal action". oh yes I love the handling, makes it feel like a brand new bike. lots of searching and those are the best looking bars you can get for a ninja.
To all those doing this job on a 2012> Ninja 650R, the handlebar clamp comes in 2 pieces just in case you're confused when you get it like I was. Since in all the videos it looks like it's just one piece I was confused, turns out the center handlebar clamp is made up of 2 pieces. Also, the handlebars are both identical therefore interchangeable either on the clutch side or the throttle side.
+Rene G. Solis I recently installed these bars on my bike as well and Rene is right. The bars are the same, interchangeable, i am very pleased with the new bars. Although make sure you adjust the leverscorrectly or your hands will go numb from zero blood flow. A flat wrist is a good wrist while driving.
Hey Buddy, sorry for the delayed response here! I've been really busy lately. In response to your question, I am not entirely sure. I've never had that problem before. I will run it by some of my friends though, and see if I can get more information. Hope I'm not too late!
Thanks for putting this up. I am definitely going to install these on my 09. Any update on your riding position? Did you have to face the levers more downwards?
@MrTinman818 thanks! I actually ended up using my longer alen wrench and twisting it all the way in, then sprayed some soapy water inside, slipped right off!
Glad you like them, bro! Does it go into the windshield during regular riding or just at slow turn when the bars are fully turned to one side? The 09 windshield is different from the 06-08 models. I've heard of that problem before for 09s and newer but with it only being as slow speed maneuvers, a lot of guys just ignore it.
Hello, just wanted to say thanks aswell! I bought a 2015 Ninja 650 about 4 months ago, and immediately bought Sport bars for it. I brought it to the dealership, and they refused to touch the bars because i didn't order it through them. Like WTF. But anywho, i'm going to be using your video as a reference to install aswell. I don't really believe that Banjo bolt will be an issue. The only time i Lock is when in the garage. and i can fabricate the Housing on it anyways. ThankYOU. safe riding
Yes, I noticed when I installed the bars, that the lines would hit the instrument cluster but only at full lock. And it was not very much. Didn't effect braking and I'm not usually braking at full lock anyway. Most likely idling in a parking lot or something. Lol.
'Aftermarket' just means a part that is not OEM and replaces the existing stock part. There are a few other options on the ninja650shop but the quality of the sportbars are excellent. The bars hitting the windshield usually depends on the year of you 650. I have seen people having the issue with the newer models ('09+). It is only an issue when you are trying to make a u-turn or tight parkinglot type of turns. You should be okay. Check out some review vids.
I can't remember exactly but I think it was around $165 or so. If you go to the site, they have all the info and pricing. It was worth every penny though.
Thanks for the comment! I replaced them, and to be honest I don’t remember if I was able to get them off without destroying them! 😅 sorry. But I will say the aftermarket grips felt way better anyway
@blissful0ne I already PM'ed you, but I'm not sure if it went through because I was on my phone. I'm sure you already figured it out by now. Just in case, you can use a flathead screw driver and lift up one end of the grips. Once you have lifted the grips as much as you can, you can spray hairspray to loosen it up. That stuff works wonders. :)
Def love the new bars. It took like an hour the throttle side gave me prob lit but the rest was fine. The only prob I'm having is that my front break lever goes inside the windscreen. I have aftermarket levers.
My 650r is an '06. The process should be identical for the 06-08 models. And even the 09-newer shouldn't be horribly different. Just a few minor adjustments I would assume.
Well, I have been doing a lot of canyon riding lately, so for the enhanced handling, I personally prefer the Sport Bars. However, if I was strictly commuting or going on long rides often, I would probably prefer the stock bars as they are more comfortable with the standard riding position. Either one works great though. As far as the leg position goes, I'm about 6'1" and notice no difference between the two. Your butt still sits in the same spot as before, so the sport bars have no effect.
Hey there! just tought id drop by and say thanks buddy....bought those sports bars and used your well made video as reference to install it...went perfect! Just something id add tho...those rubber ''hand grip?'' are a f ucking bitch to remove and re-use...might be worth buying/ordering new ones while you are at it...and that spaynet tips worked like a charm...so thanks!
+0neKingD0wn yeah, removing them was a pain in the ass but I figured out an easy way. First stick a flathead screwdriver in there and get it all around so it undoes all the glue on the inside. Then with the screwdriver still inside spray some silicone lube in there and it'll slip off like nothing. I ended up reusing the stock grips because I didn't feel like dealing with trying to remove the second one afterwards lol. Just make sure to wash it and dry it well if you're going to reuse the stock grips.
When you installed the bars, were you having trouble with the brake and throttle lines getting crammed? I've got my throttle side bar installed but the brake barely pulls and throttle doesn't snap back because the line is almost in the shape of an S. I ride an '09 650r - not sure if that changes much.
gets you out of the wind...for taller people that is a big issue.. sport bars eliminate some of the wind resistance...besides they look better on a sport bike..might as well get a cruiser if you want that upright position.
how do you prefer the riding position between stock and the sport handle bars? How is it with passengers? Also, if you can how is the leg position with the new sport bars?
hey mr tinman818 did you have a problem with the throttle cable after the installation of the sport bar. my throttle wont roll back as quick as before ( almost like a sticky throttle). i found that the cable pulling the throttle back had some what too much slack. I remove the while from the bracket underneath the fork and extended it a little bit making a little better. is there anyways to adjust the cable that pull the throttle back?
I know it's a long shot but, I just purchased a 2010 Ninja 650 with sport bars and I had to take the windscreen off because the levers were hitting the windscreen. Only during low speed maneuvers but as I drive a lot in town that was an issue. Is that something that you experienced?
Glad it helped! It really isn't too bad and trust me, once you make the change, you will realize how much it is worth it. My exhaust is a ARROW slip-on (black anodized aluminum), I ordered it from ninja650shop(dot)com as well. I made a video specifically about the exhaust and how it compares to the stock exhaust. It will make you fall in love with this pipe. Check it out on my channel.
Is there a failsafe or way to make sure your clutch and brake levers are at the right angle or do you just have to tighten them up to whatever is comfortable for you?
Sorry for the late response on this. I never found anything. I'm not sure if it is still even a problem for you since this was 3 months ago. I keep seeing stuff about turning a bolt to maneuver the brake lines but not sure of the specifics to this technique. I would do some research on some ninja forums.
what does it mean to have aftermarket bars? on the store site it said aftermarket bars will hit the windshield at full lock so does that mean there are other sport bars that won't? Because I really want the sport bars on my bike but am not happy if the bars will be touching
I know this is an older video, however, how much do these decrease the rise of the bars. I love the look of sport bars but if doesn't put me in a more aggressive riding stance, I don't want to waste the money. Thank you!
is there anyway you can post the link where you bought these handlebars from??? i have a 2006 650r and i haaaaaaaaaateeeeee its current handlebars...those need to go ASAP
No problem. I just put my sport bars on yesterday and I fuckin love them. Deff the best upgrade you can do to this bike. Still get the Supersport feeling without the Supersport price or insurance lol
It was pretty much just a trial and error for me. I ended up with them all the way forward/down. If the levers are higher than the bar, you will quickly realize that is a very unnatural position.
I have a 2008 that I want to do the change. Went to the website but they only have from 2009 and up. Any idea where can I get the ones for 2008? Thanks.
Ah! Got it! Lol. Well I did notice that the v3 says "sport bars" on them. While I'm pretty sure the v2 said "ninja". That could help. I remember being bummed that mine didn't say "ninja". Lol. Hope that helps.
hey man! nice video!!!! i want to buy a er, maybe to be n, but never know, maybe to be f (i hope for f 2011) anyway! now that you change the bar, and have the sports bars, you loose comfortability a lot? i mean yes, with sports bar, your possition is more aggresive, and better for sporty steering! but in he town, how the things are? send me a pm better to see it! thank you! (nice video in mullholand btw)! Im from Greece! thanks bye!
Haha! I have no idea. Must have been a loose screw. I'm sure I picked it up in the down time, because my bars stayed in one piece when I was done. Just make sure you don't drop shit like I did...
Really? Does it actually press the lever in or is just just barely making contact. If it is really interfering with your riding, I would recommend taking a second look at it and making sure you did all the steps right. If it is just grazing it at full lock, I think you'll be alright. There really isn't a true need for turning the levers all the way when riding anyway.
Nice ride man. I checked out your video and subscribed. (feel free to return the favor... lol) It looks pretty nice with that black shock on the side! I can tell you put a lot of work into it. Ride safe, bro.
Andrew Andrews I know this comment is a bit old, and you may have already found your answer elsewhere...but yes, it does move the handlebars down and forward slightly, and makes for a more aggressive riding position, but not quite as aggressive as a supersport.
For one, the insurance is cheaper, then there's the fact it's a great beginner bike. Also, the gas, this bike is a great commuter bike but the height of the handlebars is too high with these, you're not totally uncomfortable but also gives you that sporty feel for those days you feel like opening her up. With this bike it has enough power to have plenty of fun with but it's not crazy power where it's gonna get you killed on the first day either. Just pointing out my personal reasons but I'm sure many here have those same reasons why they bought this bike too.

Thanks. You will love them once you get them on. Hope they don't take too long, though. Good luck, bro

Great Tutorial, well put together
Thanks man. Sounds great! It's definitely a good buy.
does your break line hit or rub up against your instrument cluster when you lock your handlebars to the left?
A shot of compressed air under the grips will usually pop them right off.
@Vanguard522... Thanks! Hope it helped.
An easy way to take off the left grip is to put it into hot water for a bit and it'll slide right off
Glad to help. Yeah, It seemed like an unnecessary step. Lol.
hey guys... i wanted to know where can i get the sport bars??? i looked in Ebay but no Luck.
I know this is an older video, however, how much do these decrease the rise of the bars. I love the look of sport bars but if doesn't put me in a more aggressive riding stance, I don't want to waste the money. Thank you!

is there anyway you can post the link where you bought these handlebars from??? i have a 2006 650r and i haaaaaaaaaateeeeee its current handlebars...those need to go ASAP
Ninja650shop.com
Jeff Young thank u so much
No problem. I just put my sport bars on yesterday and I fuckin love them. Deff the best upgrade you can do to this bike. Still get the Supersport feeling without the Supersport price or insurance lol
so bleeding the brakes and flipping the bolt is not necessary? i lock my handle bars every time i park the bike
Do they still make these I can't seem to find them? If so please leave a direct link, thank you
Thanks man! Glad it helped.
just heard Jardine.. What A great sound ! WOW slipon
Can somebody please!!!! do a review on the Woodcfraft clip-ons from the ninja 650 shop
Did you have to use a stand for the installation?
It was pretty much just a trial and error for me. I ended up with them all the way forward/down. If the levers are higher than the bar, you will quickly realize that is a very unnatural position.
Are you using the stock end bars?
Do u have a buying link to the bars
I have a 2008 that I want to do the change. Went to the website but they only have from 2009 and up. Any idea where can I get the ones for 2008?
Thanks.
Fessi Zan .revzilla.com have th em
is there any difference in the V.2 and this new v3???
I'm not too sure how the v2 differs from the v3. You can probably check with Jenny at ninja650shop(dot)com...
Nicely done
the hand break also hits on mine when i turn it all the way to the left.
How can you tell which version bars you have?
I put it up in the description. These are v3. Hope that helps!
MrTinman818 no Lol not your bars, in general, thanks for replying anyway!
Ah! Got it! Lol. Well I did notice that the v3 says "sport bars" on them. While I'm pretty sure the v2 said "ninja". That could help. I remember being bummed that mine didn't say "ninja". Lol. Hope that helps.
Yeah, I wish they said Ninja or Suzuki instead, seems stupid that it says "sport bars" on it
+NubsWithGuns -Lol, you got me there
hey man! nice video!!!!
i want to buy a er, maybe to be n, but never know, maybe to be f (i hope for f 2011)
anyway! now that you change the bar, and have the sports bars, you loose comfortability a lot? i mean yes, with sports bar, your possition is more aggresive, and better for sporty steering! but in he town, how the things are?
send me a pm better to see it! thank you! (nice video in mullholand btw)! Im from Greece! thanks bye!
Haha! I have no idea. Must have been a loose screw. I'm sure I picked it up in the down time, because my bars stayed in one piece when I was done. Just make sure you don't drop shit like I did...
lol Watched this whole tutorial and I don't even have a motorcycle.
This was an awesome vid
Really? Does it actually press the lever in or is just just barely making contact. If it is really interfering with your riding, I would recommend taking a second look at it and making sure you did all the steps right. If it is just grazing it at full lock, I think you'll be alright. There really isn't a true need for turning the levers all the way when riding anyway.
GOOD JOB !
i just installed mine. there was a spacer for the middle clamp. yours didnt seem to have it.
Nice ride man. I checked out your video and subscribed. (feel free to return the favor... lol)
It looks pretty nice with that black shock on the side! I can tell you put a lot of work into it. Ride safe, bro.
How many inches is your riser?
@A7XBilly Thanks! I'll send you a pm now...
does this make the 650 more of a crouch rocket riding position?
Andrew Andrews I know this comment is a bit old, and you may have already found your answer elsewhere...but yes, it does move the handlebars down and forward slightly, and makes for a more aggressive riding position, but not quite as aggressive as a supersport.
2hat size risers did you go for mate?
what*
getting 1 green in ab. 2 months. 2012 mod. but I want Race Bars and the new two brothers black serie
Did they take the website down?
Gracias. me alegra que te gusta
How do I remove the grips???
what is it with americans and clip ons? Always seem to take comfy bars and make them uncomfortable i dont get that?
HOla, podrias poner una foto de antes y despues?
what year is your 650?
Shawn E this is a 2006
MrTinman818 I thought they started making the sport bars beginning with the '09 models?
MrTinman818 Or did they make them for the '06 model?
Is that windshield stock?
Yes, the windshield here is stock.
Why would you but a 650 for comfort over the 600 and them just get 600 like bars. I may never know
For one, the insurance is cheaper, then there's the fact it's a great beginner bike. Also, the gas, this bike is a great commuter bike but the height of the handlebars is too high with these, you're not totally uncomfortable but also gives you that sporty feel for those days you feel like opening her up. With this bike it has enough power to have plenty of fun with but it's not crazy power where it's gonna get you killed on the first day either. Just pointing out my personal reasons but I'm sure many here have those same reasons why they bought this bike too.
