Full disclosure, I've never seen his channel. Going to have to check him out. Strictly based on this video, his technique sets a piss-poor example. Resting one's hand on the gearshift lever for any length of time absolutely does result in excessive wear between the shift fork and the ...sleeve/slider/collar shifter thingy.
Eventually those two sliding surfaces wear down to the point the gear itself never fully engages. Takes a long time but it's absolutely a thing.
I'm one of those "Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance" types. Yeah, pretty sensitive about that stuff. Felt like an ass when I learned how I caused my own problem. Live & learn.
