Two fingers mostly. Its only upon hard braking have to use all of them.

Considering pune's unpredictability on the road I keep two fingers on the lever and throttle with my palm. Hence in city riding I use two fingers and on highway I sometimes use 1 if I need to just reduce the speed on my R3.

Two fingers, middle and ring finger on the lever. Index finger and thumb on the throttle.

Just two fingers; however there will always be panic situations where one tend to grab the lever with all the fingers which is not at all ideal since this could easily lock your wheels up resulting in a slide or fall.

Trick is to practice and keep on practicing the two finger technique, so in case of emergency your intuition would be to use this technique rather than the handful.


ATGATT !!!

Always 4. My braking instincts are spot on so it hasn't been a problem of over squeezing the lever in a panic.
