Was out at Oulton yesterday on my R6 and by the afternoon I was really struggling with my clutch hand, pulling in the clutch coming down the gears was agony. Today I can't even hold a drink without it hurting! Does anybody else suffer from this? I've ordered a new cable just in case the one I'm using is tight.
I sometimes get it on long "spirited" runs through the twisties where constant gear changes are needed. It usually passes after an hour or so so you may have done some more serious damage. Carpal Tunnel maybe?
Not sure mate but I've struggled with it for the last few race meetings, it normally gets to the point where I wanna stop in the last race so I've been lucky, only did four full sessions yesterday and it was agony so feel it is getting worse. New cable and original lever back on instead of hong kong special might help
I changed my shortie clutch lever to an asv long. Makes such a difference, easier clutch action and less pain in the hand on a long run.
If it's still giving grief measure the distance between the lever pivot & cable nipple centre to centre, a shorter distance will give a lighter action but needs more lever travel to lift the clutch. I think your stock one is 34mm, Accossato make clutch assys with between 24-34mm.

Go see the Doctor. You'll probably just get a prescription for Volterol (sp?) or similar brufen gel and be told to rest it. Once sorted speak with a physio about building up the muscles in your wrist, or watch a lot of porn
Mine was a 58 plate r6 & I did 200 miles on loads of days out. Never had owt like that. It was proballly better than my blade clutch
I've been getting this since i switched to shorty titax levers, got my eyes open for a long clutch lever, might look odd but if it turns me in to the Duracell bunny i wont care
I barely got out of first so don't have such issues, but now that I'm changing the gearing to -6 at the front and +10 at the back i might see 3rd and 4th
Could even be the position of the lever, I had this with my old 99 R6, I had a small off and it had knocked the lever up slightly only by mm but made a big difference to my hand (felt like I pulled a muscle between finger and thumb) so try adjusting the lever up or down a bit as could just be the stretch to the lever
I agree with Martin I did notice your levers are high Tyke we moved your brake down do the clutch after snapping my wrists I had to have them as low as I can go I find them really comfy now
