Do the yamaha high performance handlebars make a diffrence when ridding? What can I do for the throttle? ,my hand gets tired on long runs.

They are mostly a gimmick, worth it if you can get them real cheap, like $30. The easy your hand cramping, you can remove one of the carb return springs (or two), and it's MUCH easier to pull the throttle!

Thanks guys ,so if I remove one or two of the springs it wont hurt anything and it should help with the thumb fatigue?

That set that davidlem put up is a really good addition to your ski...I've got it on my gp12,and it made a world of difference as far as comfort and shock to your elbows and shoulders.Gordy is a pretty good guy too.

You mentioned thumb fatigue....huh???Flip that trigger around and use your pointer and middle fingers for throttle.

Has anyone used that "Shock" steering system? I have seen that on e-bay for a while but can't seem to justify the cost. I wonder how much it helps or can you even notice a difference? hummmmm..........?????

You got your post in just before mine scraggy, Thanks for the info on it.
