Hands falling asleep

[Questions]

CTS can really take the fun out of riding. Here's what works for me. 1.Riding position. Sit up. Maybe add some bar risers and a Bar Snake. 2. Add some Grip Puppies, they're cheap and they helped me. 3. Where gloves, all the time. 4. Still playing with a throttle rocker, but seems to help. 5 Here's the big one, lose the death grip on the bars. That's what made the biggest difference to me. The nice thing about a Spyder you can just rest your whole hand on top of the grips and relax. No need to worry about grabbing the front brake. This became my biggest problem on two wheelers. After damn near crashing because of it, I sold off all my bikes, thought I was done. Then along came a Spyder.

It will be lots of little things that help. Try them all till something works.

Took my longest ride yet on Spyder. It was fantastic!! Lots of twisties. ;D The only problem was my hands kept falling asleep - especially the right one. :-[ :-[ I have cruise control and that helped to give relief at times. Anyone have any suggestions to relieve this? Thanks.

Frustrating it is
I have the same problem even now with the Rt. Same right hand as yours (mildly in my left hand), only I get the numbness and tingling. I get a pain on my right side of neck, over my shoulders, down my arm at times.

My right leg was falling asleep on the Spyder Fest ryde also, that's not good. Scarry :yikes:

I bought the risers, Throttle Boss, and Kuryakyn grips, gel gloves for my RS, and that seemed to help a bit. But still had the problem.
I have adjusted my ryding position and I do not grip my handle bars hard, I adjust my hand so my wrist doesn't bend either.

I am going threw the same thing again, trying to find something to help my hand. It's time for a Dr. to check it out, since I got the same problem on the computer now too.

No way am I giving up my spyder or the computer :thumbup:

I have:
1. BB in the bars. Search for instructions in the forum before doing this.

2. Crampbuster. 1st thing I bought. Best 12 bucks I have spent.:2thumbs:

3. Padded gloves. I notice a big difference riding with/without gloves.

4. 3" riser. This should have been the 1st mod I bought.:2thumbs::2thumbs:

Total cost: +/-$160

These work fine for me in combination. My hands still fall asleep if I get too relaxed and lean forward, resting my weight on my hands.

My chiropractor definitely agrees with changing wrist position periodically. I find changing the Crampbuster position helps me change wrist position.

Do what you can to get comfortable. Where's the fun if you are not?

Be Safe!

My hands don't doze off but they spaz up, or cramp up sometimes. Is that what you mean? Or do they go numb? Or have pins and needles in them?
Usually a short brake stops my problem.
I have heard that Grip Puppies™ help most of these conditions.

Ask your primary physician, GP or chiropractor to request a cervical MRI without contrast.

In 40 years ridding motorcycles of all types. My right hand has fallen asleep on every long trip I've taken. I don't think there is a cure. The cramp buster helps. I believe the older you get the more chances you have of your hands going to sleep on you.

I have the same problem with my right hand. I installed NMN, now CustomDynamics, 4 inch risers on top of my 1 inch factory riser... that helped but I still had a problem with the right hand. Two weeks ago I adjusted the right side back some about 32.5 degrees on the angle gauge and it seems to be better but only time will tell for sure. /Ken krb1945
