25 ways to keep your hands off when you drive a motor

 25 ways to keep your hands off when you drive a motor 

Motorcyclists regularly feel drowsiness in the arms, weakness in the forearms and other types of discomfort in the hands, especially early in the season if they do not drive for the whole year.

Often good suggestions to prevent disadvantages come from the drivers themselves. So below we have a list of 25 motorcycle tips that have fought with unpleasant feelings in your hands.

Before the list, we will also list a brief medical explanation for the blunt feeling in your hands. Mayo Clinic says that drowsiness is usually caused by injury, irritation or pressure on the nerves or a set of nerves in the arms and wrists. The thing is that the place where the ulnar and medial nerves pass through the palms are the same place that we rely on while driving the engine.

Most motorcyclists claim that the pain is caused by: ergonomics (small arms with long reach to the handle or wide radius of the handle, it is possible that the steering position is uncomfortable for one, while for the other it is not), the technique when driving (how much the driver tightens the handle and needs would have a lighter touch) or need for modifications (change the angle of the handle and the other to reduce vibration).

Each engine is different and we can not guarantee that the tips will help everyone, but the list is as follows:

1. Reduce hand grip on the arms
2. Less reliant on wrists and hold your weight with the core and abdominal muscles
3. Use a small rubber or tennis ball on long journeys and squeeze it during a pause
4. Keep your hands relaxed, the upper part of the carcass light and touch the handles gently
5. Hold the tank between your legs to lift your wrist weight. It is also true for footrests
6. Shake your hands about every half an hour
7. Turn on the cruise control and rest your hand in your lap
8. Squeeze your hands and hands to relax muscle tension
9. Remove the rings before moving
10. Boost exercise out of the engine for greater power and fitness
11. Position your hands on the back to stretch your fingers in the opposite direction
12. Move your hands out of the handlebar handle and rest your little finger at the end of the handle
13. Replace the standard handle with a softer / spongeable handle
14. Add steering wheel covers, Kuryakyn pedals and palm rest
15. Add a gas button or a throttle rocker
16. Dress well-padded gloves, such as gloves with gel on the palms
17. Replace the weights at the ends of the handle of the steering wheel with heavier weight
18. Adjust the brake and clutch feet to compensate for wrinkles
19. Re-position your handles so your wrists are flat (rotate the handles for a comfortable wrist angle, reposition the handles closer to the body or choose a different tilt)
20. Check the steering head voltage to reduce vibration at the ends of the handle
21. Make sure your seat is not too high
22. Fill the handle with silicone or American Bar Snake (a hollow cylinder with a high-tech polymer that absorbs high-frequency vibrations)
23. Use anti-vibration anti-sprinklers
24. Try warmed handles: like heated hand washers
25. Put your hands on the carpal tunnel

Try some of these tips for your co-drivers, starting with the cheapest solutions, and if that fails, make well-engineered engine modifications. Also, do not forget to loosen this pathway. Visit your doctor. But definitely do not give up the prevention of vibrations on the wrists.
