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:)
Do you have abs?
Contrary to what my wife says - My gut is not the problem!

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.
