Do you like having your fingers?
If yes, then DON'T BUY FINGERLESS GLOVES.
Completely agree with Soviet
please please don't use fingerless gloves :spank::spank:

Ease off on that death grip. All you need is palm friction to move the throttle and steer. You really don't need to hold tightly on the grips. Also, try resting fingers on the levers and switching which fingers will be resting on the levers during long trips. Pretend you're giving the Teaser, Pleaser, Splitter, Shocker and Show Stopper hand gestures keeping your hands on the bars.... It works and you get to practice hand jobs... hehehe
Ok I'm dying of curiosity here......can you explain the second to last statement? Please!!!!!!!!!
I get numb hands too - but should specify that it is my thumb and first finger. A shake of the hand will bring back blood flow and make it feel better for a while, but then it comes back.

And I thought I read somewhere that a bar snake wouldn't work for on the FZ, I must be wrong?!?!

YAH...what's that statement about....:rof::don'tknow:opcorn:

That makes me wonder if I am just putting too much pressure on that hand or maybe have a death grip on the throttle.
I have grip puppies on order, but am waiting since the website says backordered for two weeks. I think I might look for gloves with more padding on the palm as well.
Maybe I just need to break-in my body to the bike. :Flash:
On my 30 min trip to work, I notice my hands go numb.. does anyone else go thru this?
I can contribute it to..
1. gloves are too tight, Ive ordered fingerless gloves to see if they help.
2. OEM grips are too thin, and vibration is causing it?
I've heard of changing grips, any suggestions?
My bad, it's supposed to be Teaser, Pleaser, Shocker, Spocker, Rocker and Show Stopper....:ban:
