You can access the two rear riser bolts (they are 1/4” Allen heads, so you’ll need a long bit to them ) by removing the plastic auxiliary switch panel under the ignition switch. Usually loosening those two bolts will be enough to be able to move your bars. It didn’t work for me, I ended up having to remove my outer fairing and more. There are several good YouTube videos if you have to go that far.

YouTube the topic. Very simple, but you may want to upgrade your bushings and clamp while you are at it.
