Hey, congrats on the bike . I've basically just started riding... did my first biggish trip yesterday. I found my right wrist was a bit sore, other then that every thing else was pretty good. A soak at the local thermal pools was great after wards though

Sorry I can't help you out much there,

Yea it starts of sore but gets better each ride also you could try adjusting your clutch angle and tension to suit you better if it continues to hurt.

Congrats on the new bike dreamR.

Enjoy it, and keep cool!

[dreamR]

cheers guys.i have found out from someone that holding your knees into the side of the tank will take some of the pressure of your arms

[Mole_C]

Also someone kept saying to hold yourself up with your torso, not your arms. Good advice aswel takes pressure of your arms and hands and leaves them free for some good fist shaking

Hello dreamR,

To some extend, those soreness will lessen once you are used to it - for me at least.

Enjoy your new bike and take it easy (for a start).

I could see myself getting sore very quickly trying to fit on Duck's bike! (mores the pity...)

I get sore hands/wrists, bit of lower back fatigue... grip the tank with your knees hard and it'll relieve alot of the strain.

Awesome choice of bike. My old MC22 was an excellent bike that I dearfully miss. However it was a bit expensive. I did get pains if I road for an hour or longer, but I enjoyed myself enough on it not to care.

By the way, don't get ahead of yourself as you're learning. My CBR was very confidence inspiring, and I went a bit trigger happy on the throttle and crashed. It didn't retain much of it's resale value

congrats on the new bike! everyone gets sore when they start doing something new, its only natural. gradually you will get fitter at riding and you wont notice at all, except when you've been on for a long journey etc.
stay safe and have fun!

You use muscles different when riding so they will hurt. The more you use them, ie ride, they will get used to it and you will be able to ride longer and further without pain.
