I had this discussion with my MSF instructor... they teach 4 because on many bikes... you need to grab a fist full of brake to stop quickly... where as on a sport bike... with the powerful brakes they have... 2 is more than enough for many to stop just as quick.

I use 2 and I haven't been to any class. I know that I feel more comfortable with 2 fingers covering the brake in case I need them. 4 Fingers will like over kill and less control of the throttle. But hey, that just me.

MSF course was not written by a sportbike rider.
I cover them on the track to keep from getting arm pump. When I cover the brake and clutch on the track I can't hold on so tight that I get arm pump. |

i recommend 4 in class, more strength and control. no matter the bike.
plus the other 2 could get in teh way under max braking.

I use 2 on both. Sometimes only one on the brake.
![]() Granted, I put shorty levers on the buell too, so 4 fingers not work. 3 max and with the A* gloves that don't work. |
