Eh I'm going with shorty levers on my next bike... Doesn't matter if I chop em off or if I buy ASV Unbreakables... I figure if I can use the clutch and lock up the front with two fingers what's the point of having 4 fingers on a lever when two can be squeezing the grip/throttle and holding on... hahaofblong wrote:you have little control when you use the 3 finger compared to the 4. What happens if you get into an accident or somehow squeeze too hard or walk into a wall with that handle bar and that clutch chops that finger off? As the MSF course points out its either put all 4 fingers on or none at all.koji52 wrote:ofblong wrote:shes also not properly using the clutch.
I prefer the three finger clutch squeeze but to each his (or her) own. I don't believe there's is a single proper way to use the clutch as long as the job gets done safely.

And the fact that you think they would be hotter just raises the hotness level by a thousand.![]()
I think if the accident is severe enough that my clutch would chop off my pinky, the object hitting the clutch would likely crush my other three fingers and my hand would likely be the least of my worries. I control the bike fine with three fingers and have had enough close calls to feel confident enough to say so.ofblong wrote:you have little control when you use the 3 finger compared to the 4.

My brother uses 2 to clutch and 4 to brake.
I think its just what you do, no real research to say one way of activating the clutch and brake is any better than a any other way.
I still reckon that person on the bike is a not a girl, so Im quite shocked at those of you who think its attractive.
Same can be said for many asian males such as myself...ofblong wrote:because the facial features are too smooth to be a man.shane-o wrote:I use 4 fingers to clutch and 1 or 2 to brake.
