im sure this falls into the newbie catagory of questions but I have been using just my index and middle finger to pull the clutch lever in but sometimes the lever squeezes my pinkie and ring finger which are still holding onto the grip.  I would like to keep pulling the clutch like this becuase I want to be holding on or atleast somewhat holding on at all times.  How do I remedy this?

Adjust the play outta the lever, if you can, the clutch only has to engage a little bit to shift and brake, it should be a small movment, if you can't get it try and find a leaver that sits a lil farther away from the bar.

Speaking of saw zall you reminded me, try a shorty lever, it may be small enough to miss your other fingers, thats what i run.
