Right hand getting numb

[flyingcbf]

Hi Folks,
After riding about 30-40mins on the road, my right-hand feels quite numb. The bike is a 2019 suzuki dl250. Is it just me or anyone else get this feeling? Only the right hand, left feels fine.

You might be gripping throttle more than you need to, when cruising along in steady traffic I sometimes just hold it with palm of my hand I.e. Not gripping at all.

Kool!
Might try that and see what happens

Some people find these useful fo allowing you to rest your hand rather than gripping the throttle.

Also maybe a thicker throttle grip could help.

Is it gripping the throttle too tightly? The alternative is too much vibration coming through the handlebars. If so look to the handlebar mounts on the top yoke and/or bar-end weights.

All bikes vibrate, singles more so
Bigger/cushioned grips and not using a death grip
will help

If vibration is still an issue, fitting different (heavier or lighter, most people go for heavier) bar end weights can help change the resonant frequency of the bars. In the old days of OHV singles, it wasn't unusual for people to fill the handlebar with sand or lead shot to damp down the vibration.
