Pinnnnns and needles and a painful clutch hand

I notice & get lot more vibration with the Termi; just not enough to make me change back to stock or alternatives

I use the Grab ons on the EV but the same thing as Grip puppies. They slip over stock and you are only wasting $15 USD if they don't help. Good first step

Now the last thing only happens when racing around in the mountains which will not happen here in holland, but the pins in needles in the right hand is common. It does seem to be less of a problem with my summer gloves and i'm sure some of my whiteknuckle riding doesn't help either Some days its not there, other days it is.

I'm not looking for risers, the position is perfect. I'm just looking for possible solutions. i did do a search, but risers is just not an option. I'm too young for that stuff Just kidding, but with my 1.82m the position on the bike is good and i can ride all day without any other issues

So do you guys have any experience in other handle bars and or lever sets? Will heavier weights do anything?

I lessened the vibrations in mine,
I run a heavier bar end weights "throtlemaster" it also does "cruse control"

I don't have problems with vibrations on the GRiSO, but the angle / width of the bars and the pull on the clutch.
Some useful tips to pursue in this thread, thanks!

PS I tried to get hold of this contraption that was suggested elsewhere on the Ghetto some years ago, but never got any reply from Boltacoracing. Anyone else have any experience with them?

I’ve had the issue occasionally, regardless of bike. Check you aren’t over tightening the wrist adjustment on your gloves, or that it relates to a particular fit of glove, possibly causing some restriction of blood flow.

Good Spot

I don't have the P&N problem on my B11, but I have short fingers and find that to reach the clutch lever comfortably, I end up pulling it near the pivot point which results in a heavy clutch for me.

This might be a most excellent solution!

Cheers cheers

Hi - sounds like you need a Hand Surgeon (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome??)

Same here - carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. First on the right hand and 10 years later on the left hand. You might also have numb fingers in the evening (thumb, forefinger and middle finger).
Try to get the surgery done in the winter - it is such a relief afterwards.
I tried a lot of things at that time on my V11... heavier bar end weights, different handle bars ... nothing really helped.

You could try Breva 1100 bar end weights -- they're a lot heavier, and dirt cheap compared to aftermarket bar end weights.

I put some on my little vibrator, my Buccaneer 250, and they made a great difference. (I haven't put them on my GRiSO.)
