Ergonomic | Pain between shoulder blades
 

Waiting on my Yahama Super Tenere.

Moving from a Yamaha FJR1300. The FJR had MCL Risers. While riding long distances i would get that one point of pain right in between the shoulder blades. No tingling in hands or pain anywhere else. Tried fiddling with the risers. Not much use.

With a different seating position and posture on the SuperTenere, is there anything specific I should look at tweaking to avoid that Shoulder Pain.

(Hoping that it's something to do with ergo settings rather than my shoulders - where I'd need a chiropractor or physiotherapist - $$$$$ )

I'd like to figure this out as well. I have a Vstrom and get the same pain. Funny thing is on my Harley I do not get this pain at all. I *think* it may be being caused by the fact my hands are lower and further forward on the Strom. So I'm going to try some Protaper High Rise bars tilted back a bit to see if that helps.

I used to get this on my Vstrom. Risers helped but did not remove the issue. Switched to an S10 18 months ago and not had the problem at all - must be ergonomics.

I suggest trigger points massage therapy, then learn how to do this by yourself.
We, long distance riders need to know not only how to fix a bike but also our body :thumbup1:
Today pain is in the back, tomorrow in you arms or neck.

Or could be tension.

I am not sure I understand. Why would the tension be there riding one bike but not doing similar riding on another?
