You should be holding yourself up with your abs, not arms. You should also pull your elbows in towards the tank as it will aid in reducing the pressure on your wrists. I'm 5'10".

Yeah just squeeze the tank with your legs and you should be good. Ive never had wrist issues from riding thus far but on long rides in between my shoulders blades gets really stiiff

I'm 5'9 and a half, and I have ZERO problems with clearance. It shouldn't be an issue if you are sitting correctly.

I'm right at 6 feet and as long as you use your abs and legs you shouldent have much pain in the wrists.

I'm right around 6'3 and I only really noticed a problem when I was actually sitting wrong. Finally my bro pointed out to me how to sit properly and havent had a problem since. All though I havent even been out on the RR yet and I am pretty sure it has a lowering kit in it which I will probably have to remove given my size[8D].

Guys,
Since most of you have mentioned that it could be a problem with my riding position can you please supply me good instructions for the proper posture?

Thanks.
