Risers on XP's?

[Wish]

I'm noticing I'm finding a hard time finding the comfort zone on my xp....I tend to want to be all the way forward which makes me lose maneuverability. When I stand further back I feel a bit hunched over and in an unnatural position.

I'm short....so having a riser has never occurred to me. But I'm wondering now....

I can't even picture how someone 6 foot must feel!

I put 9.25" risers on mine.
I'm 6'

Bars back to about the same angle as the steering post as it comes out of the console seesm to work best, gets the rider weight back a bit and gets rid of the goofy arc the bars go through when too far forward.

I'll double check the handlebars...I thought we moved em all of the way back but haven't had much time on it yet this year!

Thanks guys!

I agree.
Also, I am 5'9" and I have a 10" riser from Smittysspeedworks.com
The 8" riser the XP-X came with was not enough for me.

i find my self right up against the bars. i'am 5-6 so it's about right for me

I'm 6', and put the 10" riser on it. Seems about right now. I feel a little hunched over with the stock ones also.

I switched to the Doo 10" riser last year...much better. I'm 6' 1"

No you don't.
