I'm probably one of those n00bs that both grips the bars too tight and puts a lil too much weight on them. If I'm riding over about 20 mins, the fingers on my throttle hand start to go sleep, starting with the little one; haven't had my index finger go to sleep on me yet though. I just work the hand & fingers around @ stops and make good use of the throttle lock (for 5-10 seconds at a time) I installed a couple months back for long highway trips.
Haven't had issues with the thumb, but considering Pazzos after seeing/trying Kim's and realizing how far I'm actually reaching.
