How do you fix arm pump?

[dylanfan53]

FWIW, I don't get it but I know one racer who had a real problem with it last year and was helped by adding stomp pads to the tank.  It helped him hold on better with his legs instead of using so much arm strength.

yea the stomp pads are great.   I also switched to the brembo master.   Much less effort required.

I think too many people hold on with their hands. I use my hands to steer and turn the throttle. I use my lower body to hold on. Never really tried anything like the pads for the side of the tank, but I move around quite a bit and they may just cause problems.

I have a new Nissin Radial master cylinder and stomp grip.

I recall asking myself to breathe, so I'll work on that, plus I've been excercising with my new hand grips.  

I also have new gloves which were kinda stiff so hopefully as they break in it will make it easier also.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

 I used the stomp pad all last year on my tank, then I switched my tank and didn't have it for a weekend, I got arm pump really bad. Put the stuff back on and it went away. And of course you can get it at
www.bikejam.com or they do bring alot of it to the track. ;) No, this is not a commercial ;D

Or you can have Suspension Solutions' Ryan Sohn at Lithium Motorsports set your bike up right and you won't have to hang on so tight!
