Default Re: right hand goes numb

Sometimes my hand can get a bit numb, but it never gets really bad. I tend to keep as minimal grip as I can on the bars, and often wiggle my fingers about if im just going along a striaght bit of road holding constant throttle (I avoid motorways because of the numb hand problem)

As others have said, gloves can be a bit of an issue - my winter gloves dont have as much outright grip, so I have to clench the handlebar more, causing cramp and then numbness. For this reason, I always wear my summer gloves now, I can be way more comfy and never get numb hands, even when cold (handlebar muffs and heated grips). Winter gloves always leave me with a numb right hand even if its a reasonably warmish winter day
