Hands going numb when I ride

[Robm422]

Does this happen to anyone else? My bike is still in the break in period, so maybe it will smooth out some....
Also i wear a pair of agv sport gpr gloves, if that matters.

Mate check your gloves aren't too tight. It'd be a first for me to hear someone getting numb grubs from a rocket.

Seems to me there was a post awhile back from a guy who was having a vibration issue that would cause his hands to go numb, he said at certain RPMs his bike would feel like a tuning fork, have you noticed any excess vibration?

I'll check my gloves, and it doesn't seem like the bike is vibrating excessively.

ISO grips

It used to happen to me after only 30 minutes on the bike. I tried handlebar risers, moving the bars both back and forwards but still didn't fix it. Then I noticed when I had my English winter gloves on which are thicker than my other gloves I had no problems.
As a quick test I bought leather 'lace up' grip covers that made the grips thicker and I haven't had a problem since.

I hd the same problem , i put pussie grips over the top of the OEM ones, made it slightly better but what really helped was using the rivco riser and a throttle lock so i can take turns resting both arms on occasion

+1 on the ISO Grips or even try Scorpion grips. They look the same as ISO Grips but are softer and might actually be better for your problem.

I used to have the same issue with numb hands, I have fitted larger diameter grips and no more problem
