Vibration induced hand/finger numbness

Only happens to me when my hands are getting cold, and always my clutch hand - straining fingers, tight glove. I think its as much circulation as vibration.

 

Looks like the damage is already done and haven't heard of any cures:frown:I easy enough to keep your left hand moving but the rights a bit trickier while riding, you could try a throttle lock, band thing or a throttle rocker type thingy just to give you some options while on the go....

Heaiver Bar End Weights and also inners underneath your riding gloves may help, although I thought the Tiger would have been fairly smooth.

The biggest issue I have now is after about an hour of fairly quick riding on twisty roads on the Daytona my shoulders are knackered as it is not the lightest of bikes to throw about although it was worth it as a 13 plate KTM RC8 tried but just couldn't get rid of me yesterday after work espically after I passed him and he saw what age the bike was :biggrin:

 

I suffer the same Richard-bought my Speed last year after trying all sorts of sports bikes but couldn't ride them for more than 10mins before throttle hand started to go numb. The Speed was the compromise for me with the more upright position and less press on the wrists and i can ride this for 45mins or so without getting pins and needles. I am looking at adding bar risers as well to see if that helps although perhaps I should have just bought the Tiger 800 instead!

How was the pins/needles when you had your Speed? SW motech/touratech do risers for the T800 that may be worth a look.

 

Richard-May be worth getting the carpal tunnel syndrome assessed via the Doc but if it requires an op being self employed in your line of work will have its disadvantages but may offer the cure you want.To relive wrist pressure I always use thicker gloves as the thin sports gloves definitely make it worse. Out of interest, the loan bike you had recently, was it a T800 roadie or an XC? i think the T800 roadie has lower risers on the bars than your XC so you may find this bar height setting from your initial road test offers a better wrist angle for your height/reach. May be worth a visit to your dealer for a comparison, perhaps even try the new Thunderbird LT......my dark secret is I have a cruiser as well and in contrast have zero wrist numbness issues riding that!
