How do you remove the bolts to take the handlebars off

If the underside of the handlebar is stuck on the upper yolk after you have removed the four bolts, just give it a sharp rap with a rubber mallet from underneath. There is a knurled area that tends to bind but is there to assist clamping and prevent the bars from rotating in the clamp.

Hi there are 4 m8 Allen head bolts use an m6 Allen key turn anti clock wise , beware there are two arrows these need to be put back facing up wards ,if you can't see the bolts there are silver buttons covering them there just pressed in a flat screwdriver will remove these try not to be to hard and scratch the sounding metal best of luck

Disconnect brake cable.
Remove handlebar headset top screws x 4.
Push speedo cable into fork leg to raise headset top.
Disconnect speedo cable and wiring plug.
Remove handlebar clamp bolt and pull handlebars up to remove and hang on cables.
Remove locking nuts and washers from top of steering column.
Get help to raise front end of scooter and forks will slide out. (Suggest doing this bit over sheets of newspaper to catch any loose bearings.)
Remove the three bolts holding mudguard to fork and slide up the column.
Do the above in reverse to refit.

I'm answering 7 years later. I have a Schwinn Varsity 2500 Bike made probably in 2015. The Schwinn Varsity Bike is not set up the same way as a traditional bike. I loosened the center compression bolt and the two side stem clamp bolts and it came loose where I can adjust it up or down but, there's nothing to tighten the slack up below. I did some research. My original post here was to add or remove a spacer. I think you can remove a spacer to lower but, I don't think the stem is long enough to add another one. I've seen they sell an extension that you can add-on to make the handle bars higher.

hi.

you do not usually need to take the bolt all the way out to adjust handlebars. just loosen 2 or 3 turns.

the "wedge" on the bottom has probably dropped down into the tube and is too deep for the bolt to catch.
you may be able to get the bolt to catch if you can turn the bike upside down and tap the tube gently to get the wedge to drop and then do the bolt up a few turns while the bike is upside down..
i realise this can be awkward if you do not have help, in which case it may be easier to pull the handlebars out (if the cables are long enough), hook out the wedge and replace it before dropping the handlebars back into place.
another way may be to remove the front wheel and try to push the wedge back up on to the bolt with a screwdriver into the bottom of the tube.

please feel free to ask again if you need more advice.

Loosen clamp at top of bike frame where seat slides in ...twist seat back and forth while lifting upward.......To remove ft. fork ..At handlebar assy.remove allen bolt..(some are hidden by rubber plug)..remove handlebar assy/remove large nut at top of frame where handlebar slides down in..
...twist and pull to remove front fork....some have upper and lower nut depending which bike.

Usually there is a hex bolt or some kind of bolt in the handlebar stem.
Loosen the bolt 4-5-6 turns.
Bolt will move upward.
Then hit bolt down with wrench.
Handlebars should be loose.
Raise handlebars to position.
Hold bolt upward with fingers while tightening.

The handlebars are connected to the stem by 2 or 4 bolts. Undo these bolts and the handlebars will come off.

You will need to disconnect the brake lines if you are completely taking the bars off.

You must remove the Nachele to get to the handlebar risers. They are bolted through the top triple tree. Of course, you must also remove anything that prevents you from gettng the nachelle off such as windshield, fairing, and headlight. Note: Sometimes if you turn the front end fully to one side, you and get to the large nut or bolt from the bottom side without removing he nachelle. Turn the front end to the other direction to get to the other nut or bolt.

Now, keep one thing in mind, the handlebar risers are mounted in rubber bushings. This is done to reduce handlebar vibration. Harley has used this vibration dampening system for years on their big twin bikes. Your handlebars may not be "loose" but move due to the rubber mounting. Before I went to tearing my bike apart, I'd feel of some other bikes handlebars first and compare it to what yours feel like.

You can get more firm bushings for the handlebars. Matter of fact, you can get steel bushings that eliminate the rubber mounting.

Go to this site and check out page 990

Simply type in 'Hyosung parts' in your preferred search engine and look for the replacement handlebar kit for an 'S'. Instead of the handlebars clipping on to the sleeve at the top of each fork like the 'R', the 'S' set is bolted on to the two other bolts you see on the inside top of your handlebars. It's as simple as buying the 'raising' kit, bolting it on; unbolting your existing handlebars and re bolting to the raised 'S' style kit. About a half hour job with a shifter!
