Carpal tunnel: It certainly could be carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve in your wrist which makes your fingers go numb. See a hand surgeon for an examination and treatment.

Carpal tunnel: The constant vibrations from the MC engine transmitted to the grips may cause carpal-tunnel type symptoms, which you are describing. Neurosurgeon or hand surgeon can figure it out.

Consultation,EMG/NCT: Bilateral hand numbness can be commonly caused by either systemic issues like diabetes, vitamin deficiencies etc or can be due to peripheral causes like nerve compressions in the neck, elbow or hand. See your pcp who will refer you to a neurologist. After the investigations you will get referred to a hand specialist if you have ulnar or median nerve compressions for surgical release procedures.
