Get electric gloves or grips. Makes a big diff. Sometimes I had to shut my electric gloves off cause my hands got too hot.

Well I tried to ride my ZX-14 right after an ice storm last year, and let me tell you, it was crazy! It didn't matter it is was WOT or not, I was slidin all over the place. And wheelies really suck on ice
