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.

      Covering the brake with two fingers can reduce reaction time which is useful especially in traffic.

      On the track it is easier to use two fingers to trail brake and maintain throttle control and you will notice many of the best riders using two finger braking.

      A lot of pro-riders seem to use two finger stuff. Some arguments for it is grip and better control (as the friction zone is not that big and mostly toward the closed position of the clutch)

      Similar for two finger break so that you dont grab hard and lock the break.
