I don;t ride MotoX, but I do some light offroad on my Duallie KLR, some of which is pretty gnarly/rocky for a bigger bike.
On a Moto, your weight is not on your hands like on a road cycle. You may have done some nerve damage, doing MotoX and not realized it, because the bangin into the hands is off and on while doin moto.
It may now show itself more because of the relative constant weight on the hands, while road cycling...
same, same for the shoulder.
I know, after 3 or 4 hrs of bangin off-road on the KLR, my arms are toast... and I'm not really huckin anything on that 400lbs of loaded machina like guyz on real MX motos do... scary enough just droppin some small (read tiny
) rocks and ledge.
... just a thought and perspective
