On the fazer i find i lock my arms when riding, i have to remind myself to drop the shoulders and relax the elbows/arms (just like when you first learnt to ride a big bike).
Have you tried gripping the bike with your thighs? (No smutty comments from the cheap seats, please!)
I used to lock my arms too, but this pushes your feet down onto the pegs and helps you relax your shoulders, drop your elbows and I've found it makes a noticeable difference to my riding because you can use your legs to help "push" the bike into a turn.
