I have the handgrips directly in line with the front forks, which is exactly how I have my KTM set for woods/single track. I will attempt to move them in front of the fork centerline and see how that affects the "stance".
Just starting beginning trials training - have 30yrs of enduro/trail riding experience - C+/B- skill or so. My trials bike is a scorpa sy250. I am 6'1" and a "stocky" 220lb
While practicing on the trials bike, I seem to have all my weight on my hands/wrists and I find it very uncomfortable, almost painful in my lower palms and wrists.
I Know this is a broad question, but can anyone offer suggestions on what I may be doing wrong... bad stance? Need Bars Higher? etc. The the pain in the hands makes me look for any excuse to skip practicing and leave the bike sitting in the garage. I am missing out on all the fun of trials riding as a result of something that I hope has a simple solution!
Recently acquired a 60 SY250... I'm sure its a grasp at straws, but does anyone have a source, or a direction I could be looking to get ahold of a Long ride conversion kit for this rascal?
