Product Information

Full details

The Renthal 780 7/8 Mini Handlebars in Silver are designed for motocross and enduro riders seeking enhanced durability and precision. They offer a braced 7/8 design for improved stiffness and controlled flex. A key caveat is their specific compatibility, primarily with Kawasaki KX80, KX85, and KX100 models from 1998-2014. Key features include Renthal's exclusive 7010 T6 Aluminium alloy construction and a braced design favored by riders seeking a secure feel.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the braced design?

The braced design significantly increases the handlebar's rigidity, providing a more direct feel and improved precision during steering inputs, which is beneficial for aggressive riding.

What makes Renthal's 7010 T6 Aluminium alloy special?

This proprietary alloy is chosen for its exceptional strength and resilience, offering a high strength-to-weight ratio that ensures durability without adding unnecessary mass.

Can I use these handlebars on a different brand of mini bike?

These handlebars are specifically designed and recommended for Kawasaki KX80, KX85, and KX100 models from 1998-2014. Fitment on other models is not guaranteed and may require modifications.

How do I clean and maintain the silver finish?

Clean the handlebars with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the finish.

Are these handlebars compatible with Renthal Fatbar clamps?

No, these are 7/8 inch handlebars and require standard 7/8 inch clamps. They are not compatible with Renthal's larger diameter Fatbar clamping systems.

What is the difference between these and unbraced 7/8 handlebars?

The primary difference is the addition of a cross-brace, which makes the braced handlebars stiffer and more resistant to twisting or bending under load, offering more direct feedback.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars feel too stiff or transmit excessive vibration.

While designed for stiffness, ensure grips are properly installed without excessive glue, and consider aftermarket vibration-damping grip donuts if the issue persists. Verify that control clamps are not over-tightened.

Controls do not fit correctly on the 7/8 diameter.

Confirm that the controls being transferred are indeed designed for 7/8 handlebars. Some aftermarket controls may have specific fitment requirements. Ensure clamps are oriented correctly and fully seated.

Handlebars are not aligned straight after installation.

Loosen the handlebar clamp bolts on the triple tree and the control clamps. Realign the handlebars to your preferred position, ensuring they are centered, and then re-tighten all clamps evenly and securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction using high-quality aluminum alloy.
  • Braced design offers increased steering precision.
  • Trusted brand with a long history in racing components.
  • Provides a familiar feel for riders accustomed to cross-braced handlebars.

Cons

  • Specific fitment, not universally compatible with all mini bikes.
  • Braced design might feel slightly stiffer than unbraced alternatives.
  • May require adjustment of controls due to 7/8 diameter compared to larger bars.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This Renthal 780 handlebar is specifically designed to fit Kawasaki KX80, KX85, and KX100 models produced between 1998 and 2014. Ensure your motorcycle model and year fall within this range before installation.

Setup: Installation involves transferring existing controls (grips, throttle assembly, brake lever, clutch lever, and switchgear) from your original handlebars to the new Renthal bars. Ensure all components are securely fastened and properly aligned. Use a torque wrench for critical fasteners if specified by your motorcycle's service manual.

Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of the handlebars, clean them regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish. Periodically check that all mounting hardware and control clamps remain tight.
