I've heard of that issue with bicycles, but never motorcycles. I just recently stopped riding my bicycle and sold it becuase I was having the same problem. Not sure what to tell you with regards to the motorcycle.

This is a recent issue. Is it only the 250 that causes it or does your other ride give you issues as well? If it's just the 250 then something is wrong with the way you are sitting and you ae putting too much pressure on the nerves down there. A new seat, a padded garment of some kind, and a minor adjustment to how you sit may help.

On my bicycle I would stand up for 10-15 seconds as soon as any numbness started to make itself known. I would also adjust my seating position as needed. I always wore padded shorts. It ended up not being enough in the end for me but maybe it'll help you out.
