[QUOTE="CDA, post: 127362, member: 103"] You all are riding too tight..:prof: You read about pros and what they are fanatics about when it comes to their one setup, well I am a grip, lever and bar person. I need to have my levers and bars in the right spot and I have to have the correct grip. I do like the renthal med compound the best. When riding the 13' 450 with the stock grips that came on it, I was not that happy with them and wanted to cut them off, but since it was not my bike I dealt. Arm pump comes from 2 things in my book. Holding on too tight and working out the arms too much. If you are working out the upper chest and arms to be Mr. Olympia, expect arm pump. Loosen your grip on your scooter and hold on with your legs more. If you are holding on too tight, then you are not confident in the setup of your bike or know its habits. As for gloves, I have both, thin no pad and padded. I like the padded for when we are on long rides or riding tight technical stuff, as your hands get sweaty, your gloves will become wet and the padding helps soak that up and gives you better grip from slipping off the bike. Oh and Snowflake, look for 5 RMB to show up any day now to help you with your continued experiments. [/QUOTE]
