Someone who's done the install can probaby confirm this for you; I haven't and I don't remember what I've read. You may want to search the forum if you're in a hurry.
I have some 1" up and 1" back risers on my bmw (k100), and I don't like them. I was thinking of trying them out on my vstrom if the bars are the same diameter.
I wouldn't worry about the warranty; different brake lines won't affect the warranty on anything but the brake lines, and it's not as if Suzuki would honour the warranty anyways.
A comment about the bar ups and back:
As I've said, I have them on my BMW, and I absolutely hate what they did to the feel of the steering. It got very weird at low speeds, and less weird but still different at high speeds. The handlebars feel disconnected from the front wheel, as if they weren't inline with the fork tubes anymore (which they aren't anymore since the risers addition of course).
I highly recommend you look for bars with a different bend rather than using risers.
I don't really plan on using them on my wee, but am just curious to see if they'll have the same effect and if I like them higher up (in which case I'll buy different bars).
