:wow: 3 finger clutch, even with the hydro clutch? Man, that's how many I use on my clutch that has a cable in about as much need of replacement as my front tire :prof::smirk: When I rode my friend's 144, I was 2 finger clutching and 1 finger braking and keeping my fingers on the levers at all times :banana: I felt like a pro. It must be what CDA feels like :devil:

:noidea: the stock levers on my friend's 2008 144sx are like shorty levers...figured it would be the same for yours...if you brought them in, you'd have more leverage, equalling easier pull, so maybe you'd get into the 2-finger groove of things. Dunno.

Clutch = Left index and middle finger.

Front Brake = Right middle finger

My clutch needs more beef to pull in. And my middle finger is enough to drag my front.
