I recently started riding an FZ6 after 3-4 years . My previous motorcycles were R6 (for track)and an RXZ (a South east Asia model only afaik) . After 3-4 days of riding, I noticed a sharp pain in the inside of my elbow that showed up only after I relaxed my left hand from the riding position.
Its been getting better from before, but I'm not sure what the cause might be. I caught myself gripping the bars way harder than I would so I consciously stop relax my grip whenever I catch myself. I also tried bending more at the elbows in case I was locking them too much. I also tried modifying my grip by shifting 1-2 inches to the outside of the bar, which also seems to help. I'm also open to the suggestion that I'm using muscles and tendons that atrophied a bit since I wasn't riding.
I have regular foam grips now that I am going to replace with Pro Grip Duo Density 721s, and maybe that will help.
I'm just curious whether anyone else seems to have this problem and how they managed to get over it (other than the "grin and bear it approach").
