Lever adjustment to relieve wrist pain?
 
I read in another thread that it's to adjust the levers so that your wrist is in a straight line while riding. I have tried gripping the tank, and while this helps I am still getting a bit of pain in my wrists. Hope this make sense!

Just fitted some. They are +40mm not 50. But overall very happy.
I will post a full thread but i am happy with the fit and product.

Not sure if this will help you, but I discovered this by accident.

I fitted adjustable reach levers after dropping my bike. Being able to set the brake and clutch a little closer to the bar relieved a lot of the pain I had because I was not over reaching every time I braked or changed gear.

For me, the amount of adjustment in the standard levers was simply not enough and I did not know until I changed them. :D

I found changing my clutch cable and installing an EZ pull clutch lever alleviated pains in my left hand and the bit of trigger finger I was experiencing.

I've yet to get too much relief for my right wrist. Have invested in a Cramp Buster, hoping this'll help.

Is it in the manual how to adjust correctly or is it as scientific and sitting on the bike with them loose and move to somewhere that feels more comfortable?

You can rotate the complete clutch handle asy so you have a state pull.
That will give more benefit than flashy levers .

... And if that fails (as it did me after 12mths SV riding, lever adjustments, and the onset of trigger finger), invest in a 'flashy' clutch lever - worked for MY left side.

Still working on resolving issues with my throttle hand/arm/neck.

I'm gonna be buying these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-SV6...ht_4287wt_1025

I find it's not the positioning that gets me, it's the tightness of the clutch to pull in, makes my palm ache.

Anyone who doesn't know what we're talking about will be having a laugh at all this palm/wrist ache talk haha, sounds like a massive **********-a-thon
