It's really hard to blip if you have four fingers on the lever  Grin

I guess I'm not blipping when I brake... the blipping would be for downshifting? When I'm emergency braking I don't downshift, I just pull the clutch in. When I'm breaking more normally, I downshift without blipping the throttle. I guess the slipper clutch helps with that.

Am I doing something wrong?

Switched to just the middle and index fingers about a month ago (middle does all the work). Amazing how much better my riding has been over when I was using all four fingers on the lever. Better transitions back onto the throttle, able to brake closer to corners, way more comfortable . . .

P.S. I always heel-toe in the car, but I can't blip and brake smoothly at the same time on the bike. I usually momentarily stop braking to downshift if I'm not in a hurry.

No.  But if you want to blip, you might prefer to brake with two fingers rather than four.
