Fingers on brake?

[RCM78]

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.

That's why I felt they tought the 4fingers in MSF. They get Harleys and such in there with less braking power.

I had to do an emergency brake today thanks to the daily car pull out in front of me move. I used two fingers even with some panic.
