Welcome Nipper, great bike, I had the same problem on my '13 RR, GixxerChuck on here makes and sells heavier bar weights that sorts the problem, sure he'll be along to sell you some!

Hi Nipper, welcome to the site, looks like your enjoying yourself on the new steed. I get numb hands on both sides due to Carpal tunnel syndrome, StuartB told me excessive w*%king can help it, but I struggle to get my hands inside my leathers when I'm on the twisties. Best just buy the bar ends LOL.

Hope you like the forum, its full of a wide range of riders. Tell us a wee bit about you, its been a quiet week.

Welcome to the forum nipper. Full of good advice and a friendly bunch of lads.
I think the admins need to enable your account to get full access. I'll sure one of them will be along shortly.

Well worth upgrading to premier account, as quite a few good discounts on the extras your going to end up buying for the new bike.

Welcome - your picture should now be viewable

Bike will run fine without a PCV - it just runs better with one. Not urgent if cash is an issue.
