Beginer wrist pain?

[detachedretina]

I've been through 2 practicals so far, and my right wrist is hurting a day after the lessons.

 

Is this common for you guys when first starting?

u r holding on too tight, use yr thigh instead

[detachedretina]

yea i feel like im holding onto the throttle grip too hard. ive consciously tried to loosen up but the throttle will close.

 

i think i do grip with my thigh too.

I think its because you put your weight on your hands. Don't sit so sporty (backside far behind) that you have to lean forward and weigh down on your wrist. Use your thighs to grip and your legs to balance and hold your weight on the bike.

 

Once I saw this video on youtube, says to ensure that when you're sitting on the bike (moving), you can take your hands off the handlebar and you won't faceplant. But of course I don't mean you go try take your hands off while on the bike, just imagine and try that

Hold the tip of your throttle, twist it, like caressing the thing with your fingers hahahaha

Just relax yourselves..
