Use your abs and keep your weight off your hands. Takes practice.

Ahhhhh......who needs insurance.........:lol:

Can relate to the hand hurting ordeal. During my first ride I squeezed the heck outta those grips & my arms were braced like steel for a good while. Seems funny now when I think back :mrgreen: .

Were you wearing gloves?If not,you should be.Also,to take the weight off your arms,squeeze the bike with your legs and relax your top half.If you can't flop your arms about a bit you are holding on too tight.

EVERYONE, when the person you just run into ask for it

 

[Adrenalin_Junky]

Thanks for the replies! ;-)
Yes, i was wearin my brand new Teknic Gloves~
I did find myself squeezing the tank to relieve the pressure off my arms~ Probably also help once i get my seat bolts in? :-| (Seat was a lil squirly when i tried to sit perfectly upright... I know i know, itll be together shortly)

:evil: Oh and it feels awesome layin if over around corners~ was surprised how far i could lean it and it would just bite more!

Anyway, ill post some piks soon, and itll be insured shortly as i start my skewl end of may!

Had that same problem with the hands when I started riding, that and also fingers aching from holding the front brake and clutch. Bought a set of those hand grip exercise thingies - they worked, and now I am fine.

Looking forward to some pictures

Not NEEDING insurance, and not being able to GET insurance, are 2 totally different things, Layinlo! :mrgreen: :wink:

yeah it takes alittle while to get used to the different ergos on different bikes... my palms and shoulders hurt a few days or so after I got my Kat..but I came from a standard before I got my Kat. Even though I've owned and ridden alot of other sportbikes, it always takes a bit to get used to each one.

I second that. After coming from nothing but sport and super sport bikes, I'm still getting used to my Marauder.

I have never been in pain after riding my bike. It fits very well.

Good way to ruin your life. Run over a little kid and see how much lol'n you'll be doing playing receiver for the prison football team.
