I had pains in both my hands when I started motorcycling. What I find helps with the right hand, is to hold onto the very end of the handlebar and "lock" the throttle whenever I don't need to give input. In that position, my small finger and index finger will be wrapped around the end of the handlebar, and my palm, thumb, index and middle finger will be on the throttle. "Locking" it like that takes less force than holding the throttle in place when the whole hand is on it.
