[QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 94035, member: 20316"] I used to get bad hand cramps too. Lately, they've been getting better. Here are some of the things I have done: --New bike! This isn't a feasible solution but the gist is, the new bike came with new, high-quality grips. Try a softer compound grip. Also, the bars are adjustable, and we moved them to a better position that puts less stess on my arms and shoulders. --New gloves. I had Fox Pawtectors, which were a really good glove as far as fit and durability, but they were getting worn out and a little stretched. My new MSR Rage gloves have more padding in the palm and a snugger fit. --Standing more. KTMs have rock-hard seats, which encourages me to get off my tush. --Overgripping the throttle. If you're not paying attention this is bad as it will go WFO if you panic rev but the position is much easier on wrists and hands. --Chew gum. For some reason, this helps me to relax and breathe more and cuts down on death grip. --Weight forward. If you look down, you should be able to see where your numberplate and front fender meet--though you should be looking further ahead. (I have the front-fender stare down to an art) This also puts less stress on arm position and helps cut back on death grip. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
