Suggestions on positioning

[j1mmyj4m]

Since I'm new to sport bikes, I was curious how some of you ride in the slower areas. 50 and below pretty much. I picked up my bike yesterday and I'm noticing on the freeway that when you're just cruising the air kinda helps relieve some of the pressure on your hands/wrists, but in neighborhoods the palms of my hands are starting to burn a bit. Do some of you hug the tank with your legs and kinda prop yourself up or did your body just get used to the pressure?

If you sit with your toes on the pegs (not the balls of your feet) on the pegs, hug the tank a little with your knees and use your upper body more it will take pressure off your hands.

also use ur stomach muscles to hold ur upper body up rather than resting on ur hands..

Use your abs....you'll find a position where it'll all come together.
