Ive done some long rides over the last 3 weeks and am finding my throttle forearm has been getting seriously aggravated/numb.
This bikes so smooth compared to other bikes Ive owned so I'm loath to think its vibrations doing it. (Ive owned a KTM640E so Ive had the effect of vibes before. everything goes numb!).
What it "feels" like to me is the handlebars seem very swept back so all the pressure is being put on the outside of my palm, maybe accentuated by the fact my gloves have palm sliders on them. Does that make sense? I'm seriously wondering if i need a different bar that's a little flatter.
