    arm pump

    I have some cash and was wondering what would help the pump better, anti vibe stem, or steering stabalizer?

    thats what I was looking at, Im just curious if the anti vibe stem will soak up the jolts as much as a dampner.

    If you read that forum that will take care of most your arm pump I am thinking, I just put a burgard stem on mine and it had the anti vibe clamp, but I bought that first cause I bent my stock stem. I would think that the stabilizer would be alot easier to notice. I am putting my stabilizer on tonight.

    I got the fast flexx bars on my 400 and i can go about 10 times longer before i get any arm pump... They are a bit expensive but IMO they are worth it...

    get a dumb bell drill a hole through the center tie a 5 foot rope to it with a weight on the end and just keep winding it up and down it will work out your forearms

    When my adrenaline starts pumping is when I get the most arm pump. I find if I relax and loosen my grip just a bit it helps a lot. It's hard to do when your in the heat of battle. I don’t like the steering dampeners much unless it really a supper ruff track. The reason I don’t like them is the higher you set the dampening it slows you reaction time when you want to turn the bars quick. It makes it harder to turn fast. I don’t use the flex bars ether, I guess I just like to be abused. lol !!!!!!

    You shouldn't be concentrating on how fast your bike is.
    You should be concentrating on how well you can ride it.
    Never ride over your skill level and Never ride over the abilities of your machine.
