Do you suffer from hand fatigue when you ride?
Part 2 of Motorcycle Fit
Do you suffer from tired hands when you ride?
Several factors come into play when you have tired hands. Hand grips, vibration, and gloves are the most common elements to tired hands while riding.
Lets start off talking about hand grips. When you purchase your motorcycle the manufacture uses a standard set of grips. Depending upon the size of your hand it may or may not fit. If you have smaller hands the standard grip may be too large and cause extra strain on your hands. Check with the dealer to see if they offer smaller hand grips for your ride. There are several after market vendors who offer an assortment of hand grips in different styles and sizes.
Another factor that plays into tired hands is vibration. Todays bike manufacturers have reduced the amount of vibration that is transferred from the road and engine through to your hands and body. To help dampen some of the vibration transfer you can get hand grip pads. Some of the pads slip over your exsisting hand grips with minimal cost. The issue with the slip on padding is the grip becomes big and bulky. If you have smaller hands this is a huge issue. There are padded grips available for most bikes. These are used in replacement of your standard hand grips. Your dealer may have availability to offer these padded grips in multiple sizes. Be sure to try the grips in both hands to ensure a comfortable fit for a pleasurable ride. Be sure to wear your gloves when trying the grips. Wearing gloves also dampens the vibration transfer.
The third factor in tired hands ties back to your safety gear. Your gloves. You want to get gloves that are comfortable and right for the season. Gloves that are too tight will cause the blood flow to be restricted and cause your hands to go numb. If you are riding in cooler weather be sure to weather lined gloves so your hands stay warm while you ride. In the summer vented gloves are preferred to allow your hands to breath. There are different type of gloves on the market today. An all leather glove gives the best protection from debris and injury. Leather gloves do tend to be a bit warmer but you can find a glove that has vents and breathes. Some gloves have a gel padding in the palm to help dampen the vibration. This gel padding will also impact the fit of your hand grips as well.
Be sure to flex your fingers along your ride. Relax and enjoy your ride. Be safe and follow where the road takes you.
