whatever makes YOU feel "good"..

dude, everyone is not shaped the same.

I use all my fingers when I'm racing so that I know that I got full fist of clutch before i shift.

 

I always use four fingers when breaking. Why are you suppose to only use two?

I figure that using two fingers would be a bad habbit. What happens if you need to come to a quick stop.....your going to use two fingers and be screwed.

In my opion a motorcycle is much different than a dirt bike. If your riding a dirt bike two fingers is cool.

 

Are we talking about a woman here or riding a bike?

Two fingers on the woman :rock :boobies

four on the bike. :thumbup

Why? It doesn't really matter how many fingers you are using as long as enough pressure is applied. I use four fingers to clutch and two fingers to brake (even for stoppies), but not for any particular reason other than habit. Do whatever makes YOU feel comfortable.

 

What about 4 fingers on the woman?

 

You might benefit from adjusting the clutch to your needs. I always use 2 fingers for clutching and braking myself, but find my last two fingers get in the way if the clutch lever is not adjusted properly. I usually find myself moving the clutch out a little, so it doesn't take much more than a half pull of the lever for the clutch to be fully dis-engauged. Then I'll adjust the brake lever to match the clutch lever, so they feel like they are at an equal distance from the clip-ons.

I don't know if that makes sense to you, but it made sense rattling around in my brain anyway.

 

Yeah, I use two on the clutch and two on the brake...always have....just feels most natural for me. But do it however YOU feel comfortable, that's all that matters.

I like two fingers on the brake cuz it's easier to blip the throttle in between downshifts that way.

For the clutch, I also do what Earl does - adjust it so it won't squeeze my fingers when I pull it in.

Only if she likes it. :boobies

But that means that you gotz ta be skilled!

 

Ok, really...I think it's about what's comfortable for you. Obviously more fingers means more strength and more control.
Normally I use all four fingers but find myself on occasion using two.

 

I use 4 fingers on a cluth and 2 on a brake

 

If you used 4 fingers on the brake how would you blip the throttle during downshifts?
i use 4 on the clutch, 2 on the brake.

 

I prefer the two finger on the brake method because I can constantly cover the brake. You never know when you will need them fast!! That little bit of time it takes to grab it could be the difference between a close call and a trip to the hospital.

I also use the two finger clutch... seems to work better for me and I get smoother shifts (helps a lot from 1st to 2nd)

Every article I've ever read says you're supposed to use two fingers so you still have control of the throttle.

 

time to move to a next 1..
