It might seem lame or be the smaller diameter grips than I have on my KTM, I don't know. I have a new G2 throttle cam with the delrin insert, and a new Motion Pro throttle cable. The carb was even just serviced by Ron at RB. Hell, I even have Flexx bars and good suspension!
I trophied in my (amateur 40+) class and ran the whole 90 miles of a rocky, whooped out course. I'm not out of shape. I'm just not used to getting arm pump so quickly. I was taking it easy at the start to avoid this scenario. Definitely trying to avoid putting a death grip on the bike.
Guess I'll just have to read tips on how to avoid the dreaded arm pump. Maybe there are certain exercises I can do that will help.
