Try tipping the levers down so that whilst sat on the bike, with your palms flat on top of the grips, your fingers are in line with your arms and resting on the top edge of the levers. This usually means tipping the levers down about 10-15mm.
To do it, you need to remove the levers and remove or cut off the roll pin that fixes the lever postion.

It made my bike and a few customers bikes a lot more comfortable

I'm going to try this.

Great deal more confident since I fitted the slipper clutch, albeit I've gone through two sets of gold colour clutches in about 7K miles. Is this normal....I'm 18+stone, so may be I should consider it two up riding

Not holding on so tight any more, so I've not noticed the problem, so much.
Q. What is a liquid snake?

Also the 998 forum is very quiet....where is everyone?
