Save a reference to the text object returned by title, and then adjust 
the y-coordinate of its position:

t = plt.title('title')
t.set_y(1.09)
plt.subplots_adjust(top=0.86)

This y-coordinate is in normalized Axes units, so 1.0 is the top of the 
Axes frame--except that there is a small additional hard-wired pad, so 
setting y to 1.0 still leaves a little space.
