Really sore wrist/tendons

[jonboy22]

Just recently started putting a few more miles on the clock with my commute to work.

As a consequence am starting to get a sore left wrist. Its not from the riding position as I could rest on my wrist all day and it'd be fine. Its just operating the clutch, I don't think its an overly stiff action nor is the span all that big but bugger me it hurts.

Using ibuleve gell as a short term remedy but does anyone have any tips? Is it my action?? if there is such a thing??

The more you use the clutch the stronger your wrist will become, give it a few weeks and it won't hurt any more

You will adapt i'm sure, you just got to push through the pain barrier

BTW do you start a thread for each wrist?

relax your arms, you should be able to do the funky chicken, flapping yer arms with loose elbows, grab the tank with yer legs more, sit upright more often and dont put you weight on your wrists. dont grip like mad, loosen off on the grips.

My missus is experiencing the exact same problem, she rode her bike a relatively long way on Sunday. It doesn't have a particularly heavy clutch and she says its not uncomfortably positioned its purely a strength issue.

It's something I get whenever I haven't ridden for a while, only way round it is to build up the strength again.

When I started riding I had wrist pain for the first three months or so, every morning I'd wake up with a dead hand.

[Whosthedaddy]

I had painful wrists when I started riding, it eased after a few weeks and shaking the hands every so often helped, problem was it was my right hand that hurt the most

What about changing the bar ends, dampers or seating position (grip more with the legs, sit back further)

What do you ride? I can't ride more than 20 miles in stop-start traffic on my bike, my hand just totally dies.

Wank more, thatll build your wrists up.

[DEN MONKEY]

I get this if I spend any more than a few weeks off the bike and go for a decent ride. I find that after a few days back on it im fine.
My wrist hurts and everytime i need to pull the clutch in the back off my hand kills.

If Im riding every day it never seems to be an issue.
Was really bad when i first started riding took near a whole week for it to pass.

SO be happy in the knowledge that the answer to your problem is simply ride more

if im riding over 40 odd mile my right shoulder starts to ache, but then again it is an upright position and im constantly fighting the wind, another reason for a sports bike

i got really sore wrists when i was pillion on a 1200 Bandit which was hittin 120mph and when it hit the power band my wirsts nearly got ripped off me. When i got off the bike i couldnt feel my hands because they where so sore. Does anybody else get this? Or am i just weak?

[steveh]

have this problem atm on the new bike, used to a "sit up and beg" position, now its more weight on my hands, i have thin wrists, but the muscles will build up and should be fine, just ride your bike more
