I try to use 2 fingers at all times. 3-4 and feel disconnected from the bars and while 1 is usually enough in town, I don't want to get in the habit. In an emergency braking situation, chances are you're going to throw up however many fingers you are used to normally braking with. Unless you have a kungfu grip combined with Brembo monoblocks, 1 finger probably isn't going to cut it.

1 - 2 fingers. 2 fingers will result in a stoppie on my M900. I need to get in the habit of using 2 fingers all the time.

It is my experience that two fingers is best.
1 finger is prone to tiring more quickly with repeated use and probably wont give you the necessary power.
3 fingers is just too much. Can be uncomfortable. I only recommend it when things are really loose. Might need to change pads if this is the only way to get the necessary power.
2 fingers is easily controlled, comfortable, and should give you the desired results when used properly if equipment is fine

Yeah but to the uninitiated, your explanation could open up a whole new line of questioning.....I do like your explanation however.
