pins and needles

Do all of the above but I guarentee that you are cutting off the circulation.

Adjust your hand levers down slightly, this will free up your wrists.

Same with your gear lever, get it so that it's easily reachable when your foot is relaxed. You don't want to have to force it under or over exert yourself on the up-change.

I had a set of leathers that were a nightmare for cutting in above the knees. Make sure your kit isn't the cause.

If all else fails, ride faster. The wind blast will take the pressure off of your limbs. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

These:

- or similar will help cure any hi-frequency vibration due to the fact a heavier object has greater inertia & takes more effort to shake around in a mass-damper styleee... as mentioned alloy barends aren't worth the metal they are made from!

I find these help and have them fitted to both bikes:

Will clip onto your throttle enabling you to hold it on with just palm pressure,easing any [s]wanking-hand[/s] carpal-tunnel problems by you holding your grip tight for long periods?

Left hand is fine - you can shake it about at your leisure, letting go of the throttle to shake will of course cause deceleration - but not if you have one of these! You can release your grip to flex your fingers & thumb but still keep the throttle open!

I had the same problem with mine

Try heavier bar ends
Foam grips

Bingo [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

As above, less weight on your wrists, grip tighter with your knees and thighs. Try not to load the front up as much unless you're opening it up . I never got on with my GSXR1000 because of my long legs and it sitting you IN the bike rather than ON it , I had to get rid because of knee and leg issues (34 inch legs not good on a sports bike)

You could try new bar ends likes been suggested . Silly question, with the difference in the bike, you're not tense are you ? Try relaxing from the neck and shouders downwards, it might do the trick x

I get it all the time on my Fazer. I've tried everything Scotty mention to no avail. In my case I just put it down to old age. :'(

Get a big twin Ken, you won't be blaming old age anymore ;D

Everything else plus balance the throttle bodies/carbs, do the valves, fit grip puppies and relax.
