While it might sound very elementary, im just wondering how everyone here holds their throttle (on most occasions)
I have bought my FZ6 as my first bike (foot of snow still on ground right now though) so I have yet to head out and start picking it up. I was taught at my training course, similar to the US's MSF, to hold the throttle with my thumb, index and pinky while my middle and ring fingers on the brake.
After cruising the forum a bit and reading MANY threads ive noticed that not everyone seems to be using this hand position? I may be wrong but some pictures of "shorty" brake levers on some bikes makes me wonder how anyone does it as well. I find the way I learned made it harder to release the throttle when compared to index and middle fingers on the brake. I just seemed to have more control that way.
just interested, Thanks! :rockon:
