Hand falls asleep
I've only been riding for a couple of months, but one thing I've had problems with is my right hand going numb when I'm riding. Any advice on how I can resolve this problem?

Relax your grip a little, and maybe try some new grips Kuryakyn has these http://www.kuryakyn.com/products.asp...ey&ci=2491I don't use them but they seem to get rave reviews.

What Yuck said! Relax your grip a little.Once I learned how to do that,my hand barely ever falls asleep.Save your money.You don't need ISO grips.Maybe some gel gloves would help also.

RE: Hand falls asleep
I do wear gloves and I tried riding without them, but no luck.
"Death grip" LOL You're right! I was holding on for dear life at first, but I've learned that I don't have to. I had surgery several years ago for carpal tunnel on the same hand and I'm thinking that might be part of the problem? I've tried holding the throttle with my wrist at different angles, but it's not helping.
I've looked at buying the grips with the paddle attached and different handlebars that might shorten my reach. (I'm height challenged at 5' 2" and have short arms)
Thanks for the replies! Any help is appreciated.

RE: Hand falls asleep
I have had the same problem on some model bikes, try looking at your wrist and the position as you grab the bars. If you seeing a bend in the wrist that will cause it. I had to change out my bars and the problem went away.... Good Luck!
