2 fingers on clutch & index finger only on the brake for me. More habit than anything else really.

Index finger on the clutch at all times and either 1 or 2 on the brake depending on how hard I need to apply them. As another member said, adjust your levers correctly, it will make a big difference.

Do you need the clutch for double blip ? Throttle, approach speed and weight transfer should be enough to get over most logs. Difficult bit is timing the second blip right. One finger on the clutch when I expect to use it.

Minimum of one finger on the clutch always.
Anyone who hops a log without a finger or two covering it is just waiting to throw it away. When things go pear shaped its usually the clutch that stops all that engergy from driving the bike away from you. |

Always put your levers parallel with the ground, never lower, you will get terrible pump.
Try this, twist your wrist down so your thumb tried to contact the underside of your forearm, now clench a fist. Now bend your hand back and do the same. And the answer to the question, start with 1, then 2... any more and you shouldn't be riding her.

Anyway, I seem to use a mix of two and one. I need to get fitter. |

Thats how i always set my levers up, bar the fact i always have the front brake lever slightly more upright than the clutch as its always felt 'comfier'.

Went to an enduro school with a national champion. The advice was one finger on both and levers in the downward position. I use my middle. You will eventually build strength and by using the middle I mantain the best grip on the bars. It is tricky with a cable pull clutch.

One finger on each when I have an nasty chunk of wood or a slippery rock . Otherwise my recluse 3.0 saves my arms .
