guess, it's our conscious? If the aluminum clip on/bar end cause handle bar to be wiggly. Unstable, especially riding on uneven surface? Your conscious will tell you to get a stronger grip. A tense grip will cause numbness.
Slight hijack here, but if you don't mind, convince me how the lack of weights will make my hands(s) numb???? Reason being; My throttle hand is DEAD numb after about 50 miles, and I am cool on the left, but I think I can move it around a bit more, where the right hand is locked on the throttle-
I also have pro-tec clip ons with alum ends, and no bar weights. at 60 it wants to start its own tank slapper if I take my hands off the bars…….

13K...that's super low miles....For 98'....ahhh first week so your still getting to know her. I purchase my 94 at 18K 4 years ago. To this day, I still get the same thrill riding it like the first time. But of course after 4 years, confidence build up & your trust toward her.

Still learning how she runs.
I lost a street race tonight to a squid riding his stunter R6. Typical punk wearing sneakers and jeans, bald rear Shinko tire, and no gloves. We left the stoplight and dropped the hammer from a rolling start. When I hit 9000 rpm, the motor started breaking up, so I backed it off.
Turns out my fuel level sloshed into the reserve
Why couldnt Baba-san see fit to include a low fuel warning light?

Lol...my 94 don't even have a fuel pump? Take it easy, she is still new to you. You must first gain trust with time & practice. Get to know her first before pushing performance. But most important is to know when to turn away, live to ride another day.

Im talking about the factory original parts, mate. One inside the bar, and another that screws onto the bar end.
Can you describe the 'wiggly' feeling in more detail, Hebbo?
Do you mean vibration? Or is it more about steering control, like a head-shaker?
