Forgot to add to relax and don't grip the bars too tight. Try to keep you wrists straight instead of bent. On tbe throttle side, start your twist further forward so the desired final position leaves your wrist and arm inline.

 

+1 on all advice

Also make sure your controls are lined up with your hand/arm angle. I'm one who rides with two fingers on the levers all the time. Adjust your levers so your fingers don't have to reach up or down to operate. Make them a natural extension of your hand

Here's a mental exercise. Sit in a hard back chair. Now imagine you're a jockey. Close your eyes and do the hand and body movements like you're riding a horse.

Relax. Stay loose in the hips. Stay loose in the shoulders. Stay loose in the elbows.

I used to go through the same thing. Once I felt the bike moving under me as it was soaking the bumps and such out of the road and it wasn't being transferred up the forks and into my upper body through my wrists. It felt great

It does take some adjusting. Some thinking

 

Misti nailed it!
I was doing the speed limit on my local track, I mean back road; I was blown away when another sport bike rider waved at me as he went through the apex of his turn! After training to use my legs more, the comfort is way better, the control is impressive!

 

YAY!!! So glad!! It makes a HUGE difference to grip the tank with your lower body so that you can relax the grip on your wrists and hands!! Wooohoooo!!

 

Glad that worked. I still had to add Grip Puppies to my grips to tackle longer trips.

 

yes. you need to upgrade the gloves for the better grip.
