After only ridden about 400 miles, on my 748R, after about 60 miles or so, my throttle hand fingers start to go Numb, and my left hand also feels wierd.
My question is, are the fitting of bar end weights going to stop this, if so who does them and how much??
cheers

Chris
sounds like you have Carpel tunnel syndrome, I`m sure that nit the rite spolling, my hands go exactly the same when I`m riding, a severe numness that goes if you take your hand off the bars and wagle your fingers for a few moments.

Go see a doctor!

Im only 23, but i do work woth air tools all the time at work, never had a problem on my RS 250

Different weight bar ends will alter the frequency of the bar vibes. That usually solves the problem.

Guy at the bike show was selling alloy and stainless bar ends and in tests the alloy ones came out on top for cutting vibes, funny I thought it would be the other-way round, nearly bought some, throttle hand go`s num after about 20 miles.

[Chrisiball]

Yeah i would of thought stainless would be better, so is anybody using some, and can reccomend anywere??

its nothing to do with bar weights, its how you hold onto the bars taht cause the problems

i teach people cbt's and we tell them to relax and only loosely grip the bars so it stops your hands gling numb from vibration, this may be the reason it amy not but try to ride with a nice loose relaxed grip and see how that feels
