Numbness - Page 2

Particle Man · 09-27-2009, 09:45 PM

my right big toe and the ball of both feet.

lower pegs are on the way (Buell footpegs that will be modified to fit the SV).

Apparently, there's a nerve that is being pinched in my lower back by the position of my legs on the pegs.

My pinkie goes numb if I put too much pressure on my wrist and hands, or if my gloves arent "just so". From time to time my toes and the ball of my foot will on long rides and such...

To help with the issue I flex and move them if I can, or stop and take a break.

Seriously it could be since Erik's foot used to go to sleep too... well, that was on the 900 when he had a screaming exhaust that vibrated the crap out of everything!

So I'm sure that didn't help the situation.

I find it interesting that you say this because when I rode hubby's bike home 05 zx10) from town (about 15 mins) I was miserable from the peg position. They are much farther down and forward than on my bike. I think I would be in worse condition on his bike for longer rides than I am on mine.

that's why I went with the Buell pegs instead of the SVN rearsets from the '03 SV... the SV rearsets move the foot position forward as well as down while the Buell pegs just drop the pegs down an inch with no forward change.

I keep hearing good things about the buell pegs, need to see if I might could fab em up for my cbr and see if I like them. How much are the buell pegs?

The right half of my right pinkie finger. It's weird but I think it's my gloves that do it to me. I usually just readjust my glove and when it get bad I ride with an open palm on the throttle for a couple of minutes.

BUTT and some times my right leg

Hands use to go numb. Now that I haven't worked in a few months in a repetitive motion job, no more numbness.

My hands used to, till I bought new gloves.

My upper back goes numb after a couple hours on the bike. The only thing that helps us stopping to take a break.

I've recently started taking advil as a preventitive and its working wonders for my riding pains.
