Sorry to hear about the discomfort on the bike. Have you tried raising the bars a tad? It helped me on the ST2 several years ago and now I never think about.Those of you with long memories will remember back in May I said how I’d got carpal tunnel type symptoms on a longish ride on my ST4S. I ordered some grip puppies, foam overgrips that make the bars more padded, in the hope it would be more comfortable.
I have done very little riding over the last few months but today I did a round trip of about 130 miles. I think I would have to say the grip puppies didn’t really help – my wrists and hands were still pretty sore at the end of it. I need to realign the levers – they’re too high so I’m bending my wrists back and that’s a large part of the problem. I am tempted to take the grips off again and see how it compares, but for now I’d have to say there’s not a lot in it but probably worse rather than better.
Given the pains I always get in my hands I’m seriously considering selling the ST4S (both of them) and sticking to the Elefant….
