Re: handbrake= sore hand... any tips
ride more. You get conditioned to it.

Also if your not doing it already use your core & legs to keep weight off your arms

Time will build strength, straight line SS i find that my grip is really loose standing straight up, staggard with 2 fingers holding on takes more effort unless you belly up to the bike and get you weight on your leg.

yeah my 4 piston made it butter to grab and I have a 1000rr master (iono if that makes much of a diff between a magura or brembo) and I barely need to hold on to tight to lock it up

Ill play around with it maybe cut part of my ram air cover or something to clear it.
yeah , I have adjusted mine quite a few different times, until it felt comfortable, where as I could clutch it up fast beyond BP and just catch it with the HB with my middle and ring finger.

The only times the HB feels hard to pull is if I have the idle jammed super high..Also if your lever is cut super short, you might be missing some leverage.

Magura is the easy pull of brakes. I never believed it would make such a difference untill i tried one.

staggard using the handbrake is a rough position, you will be hanging on for dear life, arm pump will be alot more in staggard than it would SS or rear pegs,
