Renthal ones are spot on, but standard ones are fine too. Generally if the grip is not comfy you're gripping too hard.

Leaning on the bars too much and/or levers adjusted at wrong angle

+1 for that, try gripping the tank with your knees more so you're not holding yourself up with your hands. I find sitting a bit further back helps, although it does take a bit of getting used to. Hope this helps.

Try some 'grippier' grips so you don't need to cling on so tight. Renthal soft compounds on mine are ace. They are cheap enough to replace if you wear them also. Make sure you glue them properly, especially soft compounds.
