I learned on a GZ250.. awesome first bike (IMHO)..

I had the same problem NB. I found that I can actually hold the throttle in place using the palm of my hand while gripping with my index finger and thumb. I stretch out the other 3 fingers and it seems to help, both with not gripping to tightly and stretching some of my hand. Not sure if that helps, or even makes sense… Best of luck!
