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 use two, simply because I find it more comfortable. I’ve noticed that I instinctively switch to four finger when braking “automatically” though. Like if I’m emergency braking, I wll use four fingers and not think about it.

    I do cover the brake with two fingers when going slow, or if I see something up ahead that I might have to brake for, like a car looking like it wants to pull out, or in town.

    That reminds me, need to adjust my front brake lever a tiny bit, it’s almost perfect, but not quite:)
