    WTF? clutch wrist hurts from wheelies

    so i've been practicing some slow wheelies on my SM. but i think i pulled a tendon in my clutch wrist (the outside edge area of my wrist). i think it's cuz my clutch hand doesn't have a firm grip on the handlebar when i clutch it up. you know, when i pop it up my fingers need to move back onto the bar for grip for i guess that's when i hurt my wrist trying to support my body weight (when my wrist was still in this awkward position before my fingers can get a grip). even though it's just a split second it was enough to hurt my wrist. i dont wanna compensate with my throttle hand cuz it will turn the handlebar.

    what can i do to stop my wrist from hurting doing clutch ups?

    Work out and turn your woman wrists into man wrists.

    you sure you're not hurting your wrist on the landing? If you come down to hard you're more likely to have injury occur here then what your saying...

    yeahhh that's exactly what i need!!! with stock lever if i do 1 finger the lever will touch my other knuckles, so clutch won't disengage all the way. is that lever universal fit? were can i get it and in the mean time can i just dremel my stock lever shorter? thanks.

    Riders Choice has them in stock.
    I don't think cutting the stock lever will work, without the length it will harder to disengage and will fatigue your hand much quicker.

    You will still get those little injuries caused by repitition, even if you don't crash.

    I think Riders Choice has one left in stock, and they're more like $80, not $60 unless your JohnnyP.

    Your main problem is that your not "taking your Strong hand"


    Always take your strong hand on the clutch....

    I was wondering about that.... I have those issues with my throttle hand... I recently started to "warm up" before a session just stretching the wrists and other body parts....
