Right hand cramps after bout half hour?

[wymple]

I use a NEP cruise control (model CC-4 for single cable Suzuki) and have never had problems. A simple "U" shaped clip fits over the throttle cable where it exits the housing, to keep the unit from rotating around with the throttle.

The friction adjustment is set so that you can still twist the throttle open or closed even with the cruise control engaged, but the friction is enough to keep the throttle at a steady opening.

The only negative point is that the lever is right at the top, making it difficult to engage/release with right thumb. I just bring left hand over to engage/release, because you do not need to do it often on the open road, anyway.

This is what I use, I couldn't remember the name of it. Works great and there is nothing remotely difficult about the adjustment. I have no problem setting it with my right thumb.

Funny u would mention that, went yesterday ,I don't understand it,but most of my problem is from the nerve in my neck,[I folded a steering wheel inside out in a classic car with no shoulder strap,when some one texting ,ran me off the road and i nailed a tree about 45mph]. I've now got stretching exercises and a tennis elbow arm band around my forarm,it already seems to be helping,she also suggested a squeeze ball to exercise my grip,I'm going to try it?
Thanks

I pulled up a carb schematic and c 3 springs, could I remove the center spring and only use 2?

[Steve]

Sorry, I'm not good with texting shortcuts, what three springs do you SEE?

There are no springs that can be safely removed to reduce the effort.

Actually 4 Springs!
I unhooked the one under the screwdriver, it made a slight Improvement!
Haven't rode yet, rain today in East Tn?

Don't use the throttle lock much but for light traffic freeway. Cramp buster is nice though. .

I see you have the chrome version of the throttle lock. I mentioned that I had combined parts of two units for mine.
I used the chrome on the ends, but kept the black for the cross piece and the thumb lever.

Rode today,slight restiance improvement in pull, waiting on grips, fatter in center for less
cramping? The cold,50 degree temp seems to hurt as much as anything,might have to try hand warmers?

[Cipher]

hand warmer are nasty. too hot in the palm too cold on the rest of hand.

[Steve]

I have never tried heated grips. Although the concept sounds good, I don't always have both of my hands wrapped around the grips.

I will often have one hand or the other off the grip, doing one thing or another, or just resting. For me, my heated GLOVES work just fine.

Rode to work today in 37 degree weather - high to be about 40 - Snow this weekend..



For me on the GS850 --
I have Joe Rocket Burner Gloves -
Battery operated - rechargeable - lasts about 2.5 hours on HIGH -
They work pretty well... I have an extra charger and battery set too...
They recharge pretty fast - and keep your hands warm ...

So how bout those budget gloves on ebay 15- 20$.
Anybody tried them?
Take 3 aaa batteries?

[Steve]

Three AAA batteries are not going to provide very much heat, nor for very long.

.

[81gs7501166]

So the ones that wire to 12v are the way to go?
I'd like to not have a cord to deal With?
Are any of them self contained,no wires,Rechargeable?
Other than a leather jacket,I've never had any winter gear.
And my winter rides will be only 30-45 min? Maybe less, just to let off a little Steam?
Thanks
