Re: Do your wrists hurt after riding?
I just started doing slow wheelies a couple months ago (so this is fresh in my mind) a couple things i noticed....
clip ons slightly turned out is way more comfortable (but I'm full faired , so that's my restriction as to how far I can go outwards)
First off... my setdowns and timing of them was terrible at first...this was a wrist killer.... within 1 to 2 weeks My timing and absorbtion of setdowns (not to mention the setdowns themselves) got way better.( and resulted in less wrist beatin' )
but I kept fooling with setups anyways ...to find the most comfortable one...
then I came across another variable that had a major "To Do" with wrist bustin'... it was how far my clutch lever was spun....I came to find out ...that rotating my lever downward...made for a much more comfy position (to be able to keep it covered at all times)
try and mess with that and see if it helps

Re: Do your wrists hurt after riding?
Damn I wish I could ride wheelies for that long.
I think I got the up and down pretty good, but all of a sudden, my bike is veering to the right, so I try to put extra weight on my left foot but it seems to always lean to the right. I have to put it down before I go off road.
Tomorrow I'll try to put all my weight on the left to see what happens.

Re: Do your wrists hurt after riding?
no but seriously some certain weight lifts can help. I know there's guys on here 300+ but a little lifting might help. Also you have to make the bike fit the rider. Not the rider fit the bike.
