I have done about 2K on my bike since i brought it two months ago, i expected the vibrations on my hands and maybe my feet, however after i have ridden for a while when i get off my privates are numb from the vibration and feels that i need the toilet with every step. Some times it is just the tip but most of the time its all of it!! I have tried different positions on the seat (further forward or further back) but to no prevail can anyone help!

Try a haemorroid cushion reversed so the U shape is to the front rather than the back. Gel is good, inflatable works. (Mate of mine - honest!!)

I commute 25 miles each way on my XT R and yes vibes affect my wedding veg! maybe you could ask the Mrs to rub them when you get home, tell her its for medical reasons!!!

Maybe this problem might been dependent on the size of the package being transported so to speak

So the personal effect may vary quite widely and probably explains why I don't seem to suffer too much either

I always had it down to the seat being so hard, reduces blood flow to veg parts, I get the same when I'm cycling and cycling in extreme cold weather just means sometimes when you need a piss you will just make a mess of yourself as your best friend has dissapeared

edit
googled it! I new I had read something about it way back and not just dreamed up a medical answer to cover for me being so tiny!

http://www.nature.com/ijir/journal/v.../3900929a.html

has the bike got any mod? ie different exhaust,as mine is standard so no probs there.

The mods i have are, MTC cans, stage 1 and 2 filters, kev fuel mod, o2 eliminator and the suspension spacers. Well when riding i always have to make my mind up if to hang it down the left side or right side of the seat LOL at least its not stoped my performance :shsgging:

Are you bragging or complaining?

Spectacular thread - I wear padded leathers so I can cover hundreds of miles on an XTX and all I get is a stiff neck. I did 430 miles in 24 hours last weekend and not so much as a tingly digit.

I can only imagine benefits to having numb tackle ("Oh yes honey, I can last all night so long as I do sixty miles on my bike first") - you probably don't see it like this. I was trying to figure if 'package size' and engine speed might be setting up a harmonic vibration and was going to suggest a sprocket change to alter your engine revs at cruising speed - this might also be unhelpful.

Can I suggest you see a doctor and say the words 'Prostate exam'? It sounds like there is more to it if your arse and fingers aren't affected, usually they are the first to suffer.
