Think you're putting too much weight on your hands. Would bar risers work to make you more upright? Take some strain off your hands, maybe?

Thanks but that's not it I have five motorcycles the XC is the only one that causes me pain in my thumbs I put a set of 1 in up and back risers did not help I think it's the angle of the bar ends

Try a pair of barrel grips . I have Biltwells on my TTR and they make a world of difference for old hands , simply put they are the general shape of the palm of a hand . On my tiger the factory grips we so lovely I didn’t have the heart to cut them so wrapped them with equine leg wrap , 3M makes the plushest , 4$ a roll , think you need a roll for each grip . It’s exactly the width of a grip so if you want the barrel shape cut it along the equator of the roll and install a half at a time thicker in the center to get the desired result . If we didn’t use it on hockey stick handles I wouldn’t have come up with the idea but there it was sitting on the bench . It’s way softer than the Biltwells and you can make it the size you want . The horse supply stores sell tons of it .

I have heated grips so I may not try that but thanks

I had grip-buddies over my heated grips, heat was still effective.

Had the same problem with R9T, bar riser helped somewhat but went back to Triumph and problem persisted. Evaluated for median nerve entrapment due to years and years of hammering/mechanical work. Surgery solved the problem for me. You can try different bar combos & angles but you may wish to have a good sports medicine orthopod examine you to make sure you don't have an underlying issue. Just my opinion.
