1 finger clutching need help..need clutch to be softer

ok i just learned to clutch up now instead of powering...but after a few wheelies my hand starts killing me...im trying the slow wheelie stand ups and i am only keeping 1 finger on the clutch so i can hang on with the rest....what can i do to make the clutch easier to pull in?its adjusted out far enough for my hand to fit under it and the lever to rest on top of my fingers ....so i cant really adjust where the lever is gonna be..anyone got a tip for me...?..

Sounds like someone has seen the light. Using the clutch is essential.

You could try using a cable lubricater...that usually helps out on my quad, or just get a new clutch cable or something
