If you force yourself to ride with the proper position, your hands and wrist will not hurt. You shouldn’t be all up on the tank, slide your butt back some, squeeze the tank with your knees. You'll be using your back/stomach muscles to hold yourself up. Keep you elbows down and in so that you don't have an extreme bend at the wrist. Put your hands on the grips and you'll see what I'm talking about. You forearm should come straight back not bend out at a 45. Try not to white knuckle the grips, keep your hands tight, but don't over do it. You should feel like your holding them for control, not in a wrestling match. You neck.... suck it up. You will build those muscles as you ride.
