Hi,
So the Monster 1200s is new to me for a year now and only had about 1/2 a dozen rides on her due to in Sydney Australia we had severe bushfires over Summer then followed by COVID 19 hasn't helped with lockdowns either.
I have come from Honda sportsbikes and never an issue with them.
1st thought it was winter when I bought the monster and numbs hands cause of the cold so I swapped out leather for lined Gore-Tex gloves to keep hands warm but still I swapped out feel for warm numb hands..
Next I got thicker grips "grip puppies" cause was thinking is it the vibrations so these foam inserts go over the "pro grips" I also installed so I have gel grips covered by foam to reduce the vibrations.
Still 30min after riding hands are numb..
is this typical of any twin? What have you done to bypass this? do the V4s suffer the same fate or are better?
Or im just getting older.. even though im just in 40s
