Numb Hands

Could possibly be caused by vibration, heavier bar end weights can help.

 

How long ago was the bike serviced? I’ve experienced a similar thing when a bike goes slightly out of tune and starts vibrating a bit.
The bar ends tend to exaggerate the vibes right into your hands.

 

I had this with my GT. When I dropped the psi in the tyres by 2 in each wheel is disappeared.

 

Time to change to one of the tiger models perhaps ?

 

I changed to the 1st of my tigers years ago with back and neck problems. ( old age, basically)
You can change the dog bones to lower the height. They are still tall but it helps quite a bit.

 

Next challenge is to find a Triumph dealer, they all seem to closing down, probably due the unreasonable demands Triumph are making.

Popped into Hughenden M40 this morning on the way back from a meeting, they’re closing and moving to Milton Keynes next weekend. They’ll carry on as an independent Triumph dealer, hopefully they’ll do well, nice people!

 

I have a similar problem, but mine is carpal tunnel syndrome. Of course its got to be the right hand..... (1996 sprint 900)

Surgeon just wanted to slice and dice, but I didn't trust the slimy bugger..... Might have to though. It only takes a few miles and the feeling is gone. We do have rather lumpy roads here though, which doesn't help.

 

My ST had them on, odd things, they make the grips very fat and consequently I found I lost a bit of “feel” so not for me.

 

Grip puppies.... Hmmmmm. I know for a fact you're not thinking of what I'm thinking of

Or maybe you are.....

 

I get a similar thing when I ride my RSV but not at all with the Nightstorm, it could well be that it is all about the riding position so as previously suggested either risers or a bike change may well help.
If nothing else it gives you an excuse to go and test ride a few things you may not have considered before

 

All good advice above, risers and loose gloves particularly, also may help if you can turn the levers round the bars a little, did on mine anyway but I had changed the bars also. Grip puppies I didn't like, made the grip too fat even for my huge mitts and couldn't control the throttle right, also if you have hot grips it stops them getting as hot.
I also found if I softened the suspension a little it seemed to help. Is your front wheel balanced, it could be that?

 

''dog bones''?? What is this you speak of?

 

ty, got a link? I need to do this!!

 

Found 'em 40 quid too much //57 $ U.S.

 

OP try some different handlebars that presents your hands in a different way to the current ones. My Honda used to give me problems and I sat on one with different bars and it instantly felt better.
Fly by wire throttle is also better on the wrists/hands than cables.

The current 765 is miles more comfortable in the hands and arms area than the Honda cb1000r ever was.

 

unfortunately The one(s) on ebay were for the dual fork version, I have yet to find the mono side yoke version....anyone? Apologies to the o.p.
