My K13GT buzzes my left hand to sleep

[BILLDENNES]

Not so much a problem for my right hand, but my left one goes to sleep quickly in the 5-6 k RPM range. I have not spoken with the dealer about this.

Tight gloves seem to make this worse. ???

I'm willing to consider gloves with thin gel "enhancements" on the handgrip side. No idea of where to look or what to ask for.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Bill - what gear are your riding in pulling 5 or 6k?

If you're in 6th hopefully it's the autobahn :p

I usually shifting to keep the bike at 4K and things are fine.

Sixth mostly, sometimes 5th.

We call 'em freeways in Los Angeles.

that's in arrest me territory here :whistle

You may want to try heavier bar end weights...

Most gloves have gel in them - Check Olympia - they have a large selection Olympia Gloves Link (http://www.olympiagloves.com/)

I do a lot of high speed cruising on a K13GT here in south west Florida on our great paved back roads and dont have a problem. Have bar backs so I am not having to lean into the bars.
