Holding the throttle too tightly I'ld guess, I have the same problem on longer rides. I start to actually grip the throttle rather than rest my hand on it. It doesn't take much pressure to hold it so... I think I'm going to change grips to a Pro Grip gel grip to help with this but that's my best guess. My left hand very very seldom goes numb as I'm not trying to hold the bar really. It's just a matter of getting used to not having to hold the throttle like a guy usually does around town.
