When I'm just riding I usually feel brave enough to use all four fingers. But when I really want control such as when popping a wheelie or jumping, etc., I feel more comfortable using the index and middle fingers while keeping the ring and pinky fingers on the grip. But doing the two finger method gives me forearm-pump really bad.

What is the text book/experienced/professional/safe rider/racer way to operate the clutch lever?

Thanks.

 

while racing I always used 3 fingers on the clutch. so it became the way I ride everything, now that I've gone to a brute and out of the circut I still use three fingers on that brake lever

 

Anybody else?

 

Always used the index and middle fingers.

 

index and middle for me too, those two are easily enough to pull in the lever, while the ring/pinkie combo works well to keep a hang onto the bars...

Of course in really rough high-speed sections where I feel I need full control I just shift without the clutch lever.

 

i just use index or index and middle.....i used to ride trials bikes and i do a lot of downhill mountain biking so that is what comes natural to me on a quad.

 

Seems to be the popular way. . .What would a formal motocross training school teach?
