I just got an 02 Blast 2 weeks ago, my first bike. After riding it all last week, I found myself unable to feel some fingertips on my left hand due to a pinched nerve. The previous owner had put sportier handlebars on the bike, but did give me the stock bars on the side. My bf says I should put the stock back on, but I like the straight handlebars that are on his 01 Blast and was wondering if anyone has had wrist issues with those? Want to still be able to throw my feet onto the back pegs.
Also, my bf pointed out how tight my clutch is, and that it may be partially contributing to the problem. I like where it catches at, but I have to use my entire hand to pull the handle in. Brake isn't like that, so it's only the one handle. Is there any way to loosen it without affecting where it catches?
