depends... if it's cold out I use 2 cuz it hurts to move more. Otherwise I use 4.

i started doin burnouts with four fingers on the brake, so thats what ive kept to doin when i went to street riding. i use two now if im bein lazy, but for any hard /panic stop-its all four, stops on a dime.
maybe after ss lines and shorty levers ill move to two, idk-but i can work the throttle with my thumb hook lol all four for the clutch too, more control on the launch, and it just transferred over to when i started riding street. |

2.
When downshifting while braking into a corner, its really hard to match the RPMs if you use 4 fingers on the brakes. come on.

I use two fingers. It's necessary to control the throttle while braking and downshifting.
MSF teaches four fingers. On sportbikes it's overkill but if your used to it it's fine. You just have to practice!!! When I'm riding my Valkyrie I use four fingers on the front brake. That bike has excellent brakes but they do take more effort then the R1. |
