Yes, tighten your abs, move forward to the tank and loosen up your wrist. I had this problem before too especially when I ride hard. The wrist pain will eventually will put the pressure to your arms and eventually lead to your shoulder to sore. I tighten my abs (its inside there somewhere), and lean my arms in the tank, which take the pressure off from the wrist. Believe me, average physique condition is not good enough to ride hard a mean bike.
Anyway we sportsbike rider need to be in shape to live up to the tag. By the way now I ride like Rossi. lol

My wrists were getting sore too today and my hands actually were getting numb!

I was riding for nearly 3 hrs and had to take 2 breaks.

You're not alone.
I've just started riding and I have a similiar problem.
Actually when riding I'm fine.
But if I stop for a few hours (sleep overnite/wake up in the morning) my srists (especially my left one) is a little soar.
I guess it takes some getting used to...

I fixed this numb fingers with a throttle lock. I can lock it and take my right hand away for a few to relieve the numbness. Please don't try this on the twisties. It also helps with the soreness.

I had the same problem as you did when I first started riding. Its a combination of building the muscle control in the right places and being too tense cause your on a new, powerful bike. Just keep riding it and you'll see your grip losen up and you'll relaz. I got a set of Vortext clip-ons too and those are really pretty comfordable. I'm 6'4 by the way so I am probably more upright with my arm length,which helps.
