Listen to this guy cause he know his shit.It helped me.No more wrist fatigue.Thanks dude

[@yourfastlife]

Thanks man!

[@darthravo]

Damn never thought about this at all, I usually keep distance between my legs and the tank so literally I slide every time I brake, which is pretty much every minute here in India! Thanks I’ll be trying this tomorrow.

[@Gurdil95]

Holy shit 12 seconds in and "..., especially with the yamaha R6" lmao I bought one a few weeks ago and I'm already looking up "sports bike wrist pain" I'll try this hopefully I'm in a bit less of a pain during my commuting.

[@TheEBCGameplays]

or put a band around your wrist, so the pressure will put on the wrist and you wont feel alot of pain

Haha I died when he said that lol felt like this video was made for me.

[@antgiIlss]

I am too on a r6😭😭

[@zman6034]

now my abs are sore

[@huntermetzger5764]

Great tips! I just got a GSXR 600 yesterday (moved over from the cruiser/sport touring world) and this video helped immensely! Was just out for an hour ride, no wrist fatigue at all using the techniques you described in this video :) Thanks man!

[@ComputerGeekOnTwoWheels]

Stompgrip Tank Grips is what I use and really works. The grips are transparent so it does not take away from the aesthetics of the bike.

[@yazuka91]

Exactly the point. guys can try it for yourselves. try overtaking a semi that would usually blow you off a little with the wind. try having a loose grip this time. you'll be surprised.

[@admireinspire]

I've only been riding for 2 months and a super sport for like 2 weeks but my wrists are fucking killing me. I really appreciate your video. subbed!

[@ChaitanyaArige]

I am also having back pain...neck pain and wrist cramps

[@michor10]

Good advice. But I would like to add that the angle of the stubs may also force your hand into an uncomfortable position depending on your anatomy. Yes, we apply only light pressure on the brake and we do not "hold on" to the handlebars, yet even so your hand will still angle to a certain degree during braking since you need to press (or curl) your fingers towards yourself ie. the handlebars. In that case you have to adjust that angle. Not all bikes can be adjusted this way so you might consider an alternative stub set.

[@Jakebello]

Thank you, I have noticed this myself. But you are the first one to mentioned on videos I watched about superbike riding position. I am talking about squeezing the tank with your legs. This should only be done mostly during braking, unless you are in a track taking turns on crazy speed. It is just not possible for most people to keep on squeezing the tank with your legs all the time.

[@SaulMaddox]

Side tank pad grips help so much to transfer that weight off your hands and wrist. so worth it! Just remember that you have to use your legs and abs.

[@bazinbali]

i needed to hear this today thanks

[@yourfastlife]

you got it!

[@DA2THFA1RY]

Making the bike fit you will always alleviate most wrist pain. Adjustable rearsets and changing bar position and height drastically changes how you can ride. If you aren't planted on the bike, you can't ride it efficiently.

[@parasjain201]

Dude, this is the best explanation and solution I have received so far. thanks

[@ckim6400]

I think wrist pain has more for me to do with the need to control the throttle and a throttle grip which is smaller than I should have. Possibly it's because I ride a Busa and it's really important to have a good grip as the the throttle is super responsive as I always ride in A Mode. It did help! a bit adding Heli-Bars. Then again I'm old so it could be that too!

[@yourfastlife]

C Kim A mode baby! :D

[@ckim6400]

Yup! Gotta love it! Thx.

[@ckim6400]

***** Cruise control is something I need! Been thinking about installing one. :)

[@KiixRoblox]

That's true. I just bought R15 for a week and this happen as well

[@reerbaadia1896]

If your elbows are not bent. You will have wrist and hand pain. Simple

[@Master-di4di]

If your bike is a twin cyclinder & out of syncro means more vibrations which you feel on the handle bars ie sore wrists too.When you ride, do it in a relaxed body mode.Good vid.

[@irishzx9r]

You missed one very important point is there mechanical problems head baring might need replacing and cause vibrations you might need steering damper wrong tire pressure, wrong fork setup I could keep going on.

[@yourfastlife]

James Feenan interesting points!

[@ckim6400]

James Feenan Not to down play your comment, but nothing wrong with either or any of those you mention. Sport/Super Sport /Hyper Sport and yes Sport/Touring usually have steering dampers. if maintaining your motorcycle is an issue riding any of the the above mentioned motorcycles should not be your choice to ride. Mentioned motorcycles should be serviced at recommended intervals or as needed. The pain likely is do to issues of individual ergonomics which with an investment cold change. Yup! It's all in the money. Damn I talk alot-Sorry-LoL

[@irishzx9r]

C Kim I am only pointing out the facts that these can cause problems even though you might think your bike is perfect a slight vibration can go through the handlebars and cause some pain. I would love to have the perfect bike you talk about but when you use motorbikes everyday of the year the things i mentioned cause problems and need replacing after so many miles on the clock.

[@ckim6400]

James Feenan 100% correct and I agree.My mechanic better not let me down or I'm not going to pay him :)

[@icepuppies21]

i just put clip ons handlebars on my yamaha fz16 and this helped a lot

[@Ryan-uw4ps]

*gets an r6 as an upgrade* *wrist hurts like crazy* first thing said “r6 is terrible”

[@mohamadmiedong6748]

Put oil on throttle handle,put oil on cable,the last one modified return spring on throttle body

[@lionsden6960]

Hi bro 🙋 I am getting pain in left wrist in city traffic as I can't help transferring​weight to it while braking and pulling clutch. Any suggestions?

[@dawidsienczak9821]

yea I I was in slow moving traffic jam and had to modulate only clutch for 15 minutes straight ( small lane little overtaking opportunities ) and after 35 min of riding home my left hand was sore , how do we reduce clutch fatigue is the main question.

[@ThLazyMan]

I have the exact same problem, my right wrist is fine, but my left wrist always hurt. Your comment is 1 year old, what have you been doing/what’s your solution?

[@jameswayton2340]

Is it normal to have wrist pain as a beginner? Had my first lesson on the road. Wrist feels shitty. But its not because of breaking but i guess mainly because i'm not relaxed enough. For sure should learn to use my core more and legs against the tank.

[@Biden2024_]

I have a 2015 cbr 600rr , arguably the most comfortable of all super-sports due to its raised handle bars and seating position and even on that I still suffered from major back and wrist pain, thanks so much for the tips they really came in handy! I'm still glad that I didn't get that R6 ! yes it has a very aggressive seating position which is cool for short rides but I commute around 90 miles round trip daily on my bike to work ... that bike would've blown my back out !

[@Basseloob]

Jeremiah Griffith You confused me i was thinking to have 2017 r6. Now i want also cbr600

[@iancurtis5397]

Basic good tip keep your elbows bent and arms relaxed.

[@ChaitanyaArige]

Yes

[@ItsTimmyTexas]

I don’t understand what your point is in the first part?

[@jayguato]

This is all very true! Great video

[@yourfastlife]

jockstar23 Thanks man! Don't forget to subscribe! :)

[@hyperdrive7987]

my clutch hand is the worst. i have an 03 r6 and since day one just having to pull that clutch all the time fuckin hurts

[@theeagle6823]

My accelarater hand is my problem.My little finger is crypled and wont close.

[@SupermotoCentral]

Why is there a complete manual on your fuel tank..the first thing you remove on a bike are those safety stickers 😂

[@Yuaaaur]

It sucks when your on a long ride and your hands start to feel numb

[@brycemarz69]

Yo i ride a mini bike and this helped me so much thank you

[@ZedZexer]

[@2391jessie]

[@afterburner2869]

WTF? I’m getting sore wrists from riding a cruiser with buckhorn bars.

[@theeagle6823]

Im going to try what you say in this vid and let you know how im goin thanks.

[@errbourne]

So my lefy hand thumb has been numb for a week now. I just traded my iron for a street bob... Do you have any advice on getting the numbness to go away. And why is it just my left hand thumb

[@rainuca]

Which bike do you own, Renuka?

[@Sega_is_all_i_cd]

Thank you! This helps.

[@MrMoto675]

How do you have your gopro setup? Cos I use a hero 9 on a chin mount but my vield of view is only fron the top of the dash and the road in front but you can see like everything...

[@shinryu9754]

Just realized that..

[@lethargic_cow]

This is useful - thank you

[@stevencrainie3621]

Thanks

[@phil_aesthetics]

awesome makes sense!

[@zacelder46]

I fucked up, I bought CNC Aluminum spike grips for 01 CBR cause I thought they "looked cool" function over form please cause 3 mins in and I new it was a mistake I still rip them but it makes ridding sometimes not so much fun

[@Gramidle]

how about during acceleration, do you keep your grip relaxed ?

[@yourfastlife]

+MivecMelaka You should never have a tight grip on handle bars, unless you crash and you are hanging over a bridge by your handle bars. THEN...you should grip as tight as you can and scream "HELP!!" as loud as you can.

[@theeagle6823]

+Your Fast Life! lololololol i like that.

[@rgm_]

Your Fast Life! Lol...u have gud sense of humour bro..!!!

[@ike3981]

Great info!

[@aioesj]

good advice

[@ayosirsnow]

My issue is my left wrist hurts when pressing in the clutch

[@alexreyes603]

sir snow right there with you, don’t pull clutch while upshifting. Now idk how to get rid of the pain

[@ayosirsnow]

@@alexreyes603 pain is only there when reaching for the lever but also i dont like shifting without pressing in the clutch but im just dealing with it

[@alexreyes603]

sir snow it’s getting to the point where I pull in the clutch sometimes and almost can’t. I’ve changed pulling it from the furthest point of the lever. That helps a good bit. Pain won’t go away even hours after no being on the bike

[@ayosirsnow]

@@alexreyes603 it's becoming annoying for me and frustrating and I look like a bitch in front of my boys lmao I would change the lever but I ride a 300 and I'm planning to upgrade (600cc)so I don't want to change a bunch of things on a bike I'm not planning to keep much longer.

[@alexreyes603]

sir snow exactly lol I had no problems on my cbr500 last year, but now that I got a cbr600, the position is aggressive. Since you’re having problems with a 300, be ready for 600. Might cause more problems if you seat wrong 👍🏼

[@rainbowsixsiegegetrashbag3102]

Only my throttle wrist hurts, am I ripping it to hard? Lol jk, but really how can I stop the pain?

[@razorjoerides8491]

WOW man. This video totally evolved the way I ride. Thank-you so much. I just started riding about a month ago and I mentioned you in my vlog: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqusmXuLdtJ0mZo but did not remember your name at the time. I have since posted it in the description. Thanks man, I owe you a lot for saving my wrists and helping me to actually counter steer.

[@yourfastlife]
