Yep, sounds silly but dont grip the bars so hard and remember to relax.

Thanks Fizz, but don't you need to support your body weight on your hands when tucking?

Yes you do but you dont need to grip the bars as if you were trying to stop sand sliding through your fingers. Also trying supporting some of your weight by gripping the tank with your knees a bit more

Well technically mine is a K5 although it was not registered and bought until March 06. Since March I've racked up over 6'000 miles.

Yikes.

My hands to tend to go numb after a bit, but tbh you get used to it!
