[QUOTE="BSWIFT, post: 1125057, member: 16802"] I went from the Monster, KX310Mamba to a 450F and back to a 250t. Here is what I found that changed things the most. 1. Suspension. When your suspension is tuned for your weight and style of riding, the body will relax. 2. Grips. A smaller(slim) soft grip makes a difference. 3. Gloves. Goes right along with the grips. 4. Handlebars. The rise and bend make a huge difference. Your body position puts additional pressure on your nerves and when your "grip" tighter, you tend to pinch the nerves. On my road bike, I had to rotate the bars up about a inch. My wife's bike is identical and I was having no problem on it. Even though at a glance the bars seemed to be in the same position, we measured them and found a 1 inch difference, rotated towards the rider. After adjusting the position, the numbness and elbow fatigue went away. I talked to my ortho Doc and he told be to look at the different angles your hand/wrist is in, the more extreme the more likely to get some numbing. You will likely just need to try different things. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
