sore thumb joint makes for painful riding

[Lord Popgun]

I broke my right thumb at the the bottom, at the wrist, in my 20s (went down on a Yami 650). It has some arthritis Pain cames and goes. On the ST, for long hauls, I added a MCCRUISE control. That pretty much does it for me. Other than that I just live with it. If it gets bad, hopefully a doc can do something. I did turn down cortisone shots some years back.

I’m guessing your FJR already has cruise control though.
