I was told to hold the throttle like I would with a screwdrivers by my instructor to avoid crazy wrist angles. Seems to intuitively work.

[anthonymaximin]

Timely advice for me. I’ve been doing it wrong for a long time. The wrist is painful. Was developing the inch worm technique because of shear pain but know I see more clearly what I should do. Thank you

MC Rider would be in total disagreement with these techniques and would feel they are unsafe due to the risk of whiskey throttle or unintended rapid throttle cut.

Hey Fast Eddie man! I just simply place hand on the throttle, with 2-4 fingers being able to pull the front brake. Using the padding of my gloves to get the grip and I pull back on the throttle and my fingertips are basically resting on top of the front brake lever. This way when I have to grab my front brake, I just roll off the throttle and my fingers naturally wrap the front brake lever allowing me to pull in the front brake lever. I learned that from you by the way Greg. From one of your older videos.

Ride safe everyone.

Short and crisp, as always.
Another snort of MotoJitsu and a rush of blood in my head.
There are times when understanding the information you shared is more exciting than riding my motorcycle.

Always giving sensible advice, thanks for doing what you do! 🤙🏼

Had this problem on my 2021 superduke, changed the throttle for a quick turn throttle and is now perfect for trail braking.

thats how I spot newbies, ride safe god bless

You're very thorough with your explanations aided by visuals. Thank you!

[mahendrachettri]

Attention to detail makes a good rider... Thanks a lot mate

[xXxlZAYlxXx]

I learned that on my own but its a good observation. It helps a lot to have proper hand positioning during turns.

I’ve been using a Throttle Boss for as long I as I can remember. They eliminate wrist fatigue and only cost a couple bucks. I don’t even grip the throttle anymore, I just let the weight of my arm push the Throttle Boss down.

I needed this so much, have recently taken up riding and pain in various body parts is beginning to show up

[apffer]

dude, thank you for that. I went from an 800cc tiger to a 300cc Honda XRE and realized I never went full throthle on the previous bike.With the new one I was running out of wrist on the highway. Gonna give these a try.

The MT07 does have a big turn to get to full throttle, I installed an R6 throttle tube on my MT07 and it makes getting to full throttle much easier.

[davidbreen]

yup, i have grip puppies on my grips. my hand and wrist are slightly forward so my fingers reach the break lever, and as i twist the throttle my wrist is in a comfortable position, and like you said the point where the fingers and palm holds the throttle to adjust more or less, nothing worse than getting numb hand or fingers.

[teebarbarino]

Thanks for this. As a very new rider this really made a world of difference.

[fredhill]

I watch your videos religiously man you’ve saved me big time. On my bike there’s alot of play between no throttle and throttle these tips definitely help I use the thumb trick at slower speeds lol otherwise I’d be cutting in and out.

[tanmoynag]

I learnt this with experience and now seeing him illustrate the same makes me feel proud of myself

[gunnerscustoms]

Depends on what I am doing, for me. If at the dragstrip, I hamfist it to get full throttle and a good hold on the bars for a hard launch. If canyon carving, I hold only my fingertips on the throttle to make is easier to hold a good, solid, and smooth throttle. No need to cover front brakes, in the corners, as it will stand the bike up and not corner, if used. Drag the rear and "back it in" if need to slow a little. This has always worked for me.
