In a panic situation, you're likely to grab a "handful of brake" and EASILY lock up the front if you grab with 4 fingers

Because my fore finger is usually too close to the bend in the lever to make any kind of difference, and my little finger is too weak to matter (not to mention that it barely reaches the lever). 2 works just fine for me. I can lock 'em up with 2, so why do I need more power?

And I haven't even touched the back brake since I bought it, I don't even know if it works.

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.
