I've always suffered with it.....but the odd thing is that I get it less with big trailies than with standard bikes.

Maybe cos they've usually got higher, wider bars?

I find that when it happens wait till you're going down an incline so you don't need to use the throttle.

Then just let your right arm hang loosely downwards to your side for as long as you can.

Reminds me of my old GS500E and trying to get from Ayrshire down to Hastings.  Stopping for petrol and struggling to turn the ignition back on as I could not feel my fingers at all.  As well as riding standing on the pegs cos the hideous seat was killing my arse.  I was a total wreck by the time I got to Hastings.  I was just about in tears with the pain.

Check your carb balance.  Out of balance carbs will generate loads of low level secondary vibs might could maybe be upsetting yer fingers.

Motorcycling is not likely caused or make is worse by the frequency and strength that causes are not found on motorcycles (in general), however there are a few that are more agricultural than others. I don't want to cause an offence so I won't mention them.


The throttle rest works well to prevent over gripping and causing pain in hand, this is often referred to as 'white knuckle riding'. Softening your grip when riding or good maintenance of the cables can help the symptoms, I got my rest at Buster's did one that was much better quality and ergonomic.


White finger is nerve damage and is most likely to be from kango's, thumpers and such like and not skill saws, mind you it depends what you use as a blade and how you use it?
