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.

    I think it depends on the bike entirely.

    My MT-07 had a stiff clutch (to me) when I got it but eventually I got comfortable using 2 fingers.

    Rode my buddies Honda rebel 500 and that thing had a clutch you could pull with a whisper. That bike was the least amount of effort I have ever needed to actually ride anything.

    Rode another buddies ninja zx-6r and that clutch required full hand from me the whole time. He uses two but idk how.

    Ultimately I think it just comes down to familiarity with the bike and the hand strength you form over time.
