I haven't ridden a long distance for sometime now, something around 2 months, so maybe it's just the old action coming back. But it is very uncomfortable at the moment and wondered if there's anything i can do to help the joints and muscles.

Well, for relief, get some form of heat spray or heat rub mate, I find, whatever injury I have (muscle/body/ache wise) it really helps, it gets the blood flowing through it, I think.
Does the zx7 have adjustable levers? If so, bring it all the way in if you havent whilst you get used to a heavy clutch again?
If it doesnt stop hurting, bang a dogleg clutch lever on there, or maybe even have a look at your clutch system to make sure its fully smooth and lubed....this is a stupid suggestion though, cos you'd notice if it wasnt, obvs lol.
Get one of those "Squeezers" to start exercising your grip strength again  ____________________ "Oh....it looks like Average Joe's is forfeiting the match!" - "Yeah, its a risky strategy but lets see if it pays off for 'em Cotton." |

Remove the cable from the lever and attach a plastic funnel. Seal with plasticine and fill the funnel with oil. Takes about 30 mins for the oil to find its way through  ____________________ Before: Suzuki GT 185. Honda Superdream 250. Yamaha RD350LC. Suziki RG250. Yamaha FZS600. Honda CBR600F3
