[QUOTE="Brodie, post: 1398669, member: 3372"] ^^^^^^^^^ I might be bold enough to add that with that light touch on the hand grips, if you were to take your hands off it should not affect the way the bike tracks at all. Some way to hold the throttle steady helps greatly. The more you grip the more the buzz works on the hands. Also, you may not realise it, but, by holding on to the grips you very likely are actively steering your bike down the road. With no hands on the grips, it forces you to steer with your hips. When you are actively steering with your hands you will feel it in your back and shoulder blades after a few hours. Work on the light touch with a good neutral posture and hip steering. Hope this helps. Brodie 🙂 [/QUOTE]
