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.

    The reason your bike is hard to shift is because you haven’t fully pulled in the clutch and the engine is still trying to turn the gearbox while you’re shifting.

    I figured, but I had not made that mistake in a long time I was not sure anymore.

    Thanks for letting me bounce the idea :)
