So I am not a novice rider. Had my first bike for close to 10 years.
The clutch was kinda hard to pull, so i would full fist that clutch. I now have an XSR and I am starting to try out two fingering it. Tho during one ride I feel like i would pull the clutch with my two fingers, but kicking the shifter was kind of hard or something, but then I moved back to full hand and it was smooth again. I do feel i was pulling it entirely out.
How should I improve my technique?
My current bike is an XSR 900 if it matters or anyone is curious.
Two fingers on both, but four fingers on the clutch when I’m stopped at traffic lights.
You mentioned kicking the shifter, it should never be that hard to shift, apply a little presure up on the shift lever, dip the throttle to ease the pressure on the gears while pulling a little harder on the shift lever, it should slip into the next gear like butter.
I mean I am normally not using a lot of force. I just kinda had to when i was trying the two finger clutch pull.
