  • Pain in right palm

    hi guys,

    today i went for a ride of around 217km. but during the ride i felt a bit pain in my right palm in between the little finger and the ring finger. it increases when i try to stretch them.

    i use my index finger and middle finger for the brakes and keep them on the lever continuously and operate the accelerator using my the thumb and other two fingers.....

    can anybody tell me a solution for it??
    whether i should go for softer grips or gloves (if gloves please also recommend which ones for city riding as well)

    i have an fz, could the stance be creating a problem??

      I faced the same problem, albeit both my palms are aching at the finger joints when i clench my fists! I'm quite certain its my gloves cause riding without gloves makes pulling the clutch and everything so much easier.

        I know its recommended for all kinds of rides, but somehow the concept of 2-finger clutching and braking never made me comfortable. I do a lot of long rides these days, and use the good, old-fashioned 4-finger brake / clutch press. Keeps the strain off the aforementioned aching joint(s). Besides, its not very hard to control the throttle with your palm + thumb, especially when in cruise mode on a long ride..
        Advice is a form of nostalgia.
        Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
