Riding Pains?

My bike has a very stiff throttle... if I place it at a certain angle the throttle will stay open,

just an idea... tighten the thottle a little.

Ahh but the thrill when you stand up and the pins and needles cut in :-)

My palms get really soar (not from you know what) & usually on the straights I grip the tank and take the weight off to give my hands a break.
One finger goes completely numb, not every ride but it is on the brake side which makes it interesting when you can't feel the lever.
When punting it hard and moving around on the bike alot I can get cramp in the hips. Sticking a leg out for a while fixes it.

Hows this for wierd.

When I gun it from standstill I get cramps in my left thigh. Why?

Numb bum after about 350 ks on the RF and the pins & needles in the hands at the steady 100km for a length of time.
I wish Id brought a corbin seat when I had the chance, but since Im looking to change my ride thats out of the question and then I will probably have to get used to something else getting sore or cramped.
My old CBX750 RC17 used to lock my hips in to a position and shit it used to hurt trying to get off the bike after a longish ride.

Sudden pressure on your thigh maybe?? try stretching before you ride dude...is there a physiotherapist in the house?

Now that is funny, considering you own 2 bikes, property's and all...

Think of the Biafran's!

Used to get a numb bum from the old ZX (first one) but that's no longer. ( must be due to the extra padding you develop with age)

The slightly more extreme riding position on the current ZX compared to the CBR now means I get a sore back, wrists, palms and forearms. Last weekend's Coro loop gave me aches and pains in place I didn't know existed.
