    Mate had the same with his, dealer seems to have sorted it now though, but it is going back in with other issues :(

    Hi I have had tingling / numbness problems for while of and on. Still get it on the Tiger 800 and found it worse when on a recent holiday going down mountain passes on a series of corners where more weight is on the bars and I'm more tense and holding on tighter.

    I have found using gloves with no seams across the palms helps, I have worked on relaxing my grip..... it helps but I have another theory; when I test rode my 800xc demo it did not have the ridged heated grips fitted that my new bike had. I personally do not think the heated grips are as comfortable to hold as the standard ones.

    Sometimes wearing inners in your gloves helps to lessen this

    Cheers

    I think it was a bit vibey and probably had a bit of a service and tune blown in ?
