Product Information

Full details

The Renthal 842 Fat Bar Handlebars in Black are designed for Yamaha YZ65 (2018-On) and YZ85 (2019-On) motocross and enduro riders seeking enhanced durability and performance. These handlebars leverage Renthal's decades of expertise, offering a superior strength-to-weight ratio through advanced aerospace-grade aluminum and taper wall profiling. A potential consideration is that they are a direct replacement and may require new grips or controls if the rider prefers a different setup.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of Renthal Fat Bars?

The main advantage is their superior strength-to-weight ratio, achieved through advanced materials and taper wall profiling, combined with vibration-reducing properties for enhanced rider comfort and control.

Do these handlebars fit my specific motorcycle model?

These 842 Fat Bars are specifically designed for Yamaha YZ65 (2018-On) and YZ85 (2019-On) models.

Do I need new grips for these handlebars?

Yes, Renthal Fat Bars are larger in diameter than standard handlebars. You will likely need new grips designed for a 1 1/8" (28.6mm) clamp diameter.

What material are the Renthal 842 Fat Bars made from?

They are constructed from an exclusive 7010 T6 aluminum alloy, chosen for its strength, durability, and vibration-damping characteristics.

Is the Renthal bar pad included?

Yes, each Renthal Fat Bar comes with a Renthal injection-molded foam bar pad.

How does the taper wall profiling work?

Taper wall profiling means the handlebar has a variable wall thickness. It's thicker in the clamping area for strength and thinner towards the ends, reducing weight while maintaining durability and controlling flex.

What does 'shot-peened' mean for the surface finish?

Shot-peening is a cold-working process that creates a textured surface. This process increases the metal's surface hardness and improves its resistance to fatigue and cracking, thereby enhancing durability.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars feel loose after installation

Re-check the torque specifications for the handlebar clamp bolts. Ensure the handlebar is correctly seated in the clamps and retorque to the recommended values.

Vibration seems worse than before

Ensure grips and controls are installed correctly and are not excessively tight, which can sometimes transmit more vibration. Verify that the handlebar itself is not damaged.

Cables are binding or too tight

Re-route cables to ensure they have sufficient slack and do not pull taut when the handlebars are turned fully in either direction. Adjustments to cable routing or length may be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio for improved handling and durability.
  • Proprietary aluminum alloy designed to reduce rider fatigue by dampening vibrations.
  • High level of precision engineering and manufacturing quality.
  • Durable shot-peened surface increases lifespan under harsh conditions.
  • Includes a branded Renthal bar pad for immediate use.

Cons

  • Requires specific fitment for Yamaha YZ65/YZ85 models, not universal.
  • May necessitate purchasing new grips or controls if a different diameter is preferred.
  • Premium product with a corresponding price point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These Renthal 842 Fat Bars are specifically designed for Yamaha YZ65 models from 2018 onwards and YZ85 models from 2019 onwards.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the motorcycle is securely supported.
  2. Carefully remove the existing handlebars, noting the routing of any cables or wires.
  3. Clean the handlebar mounting area on the triple clamp.
  4. Install the new Renthal Fat Bars, ensuring they are centered and torqued to the manufacturer's specifications for the triple clamp bolts.
  5. Reinstall grips, levers, and controls. Note that the Renthal Fat Bar has a larger diameter than standard handlebars, so new grips may be required.
  6. Ensure all cables have adequate slack and are routed correctly without binding.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the handlebars for any signs of damage, cracks, or excessive wear, especially after a crash.
  • Clean the handlebars with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  • Check that the bar pad is secure and in good condition. Replace if torn or degraded.
