Re: one finger handbrake????
shhhhiat i rock an 04 gsxr radial and i can lock my **** up no prob with one finger! it just takes time to get your finger all buff and stuff to go all day one fingerin the brake. youll find out that you will start to get a bruise on the spot where you one finger it...then after a while it will go away then you can rock that **** all DAY!

I am in the same position. I have an 06-07 gsxr master with a fullthrottle set up and the rear does not lock up with one finger. It is a bitch to get it do about anything but slow the bike a little.

Re: one finger handbrake????
hope this helpsit's got the power to cruise about 30 or 40 miles an hour in 3rd gear while holding cruising throttle to be able to LOCK UP and kill the engine no problem with 1 finger.
Lockup is mandatory for good hard 180 stalls. you just circle circle circle gas too hard to tighten in the circle hit clutch feather handbrake and lock 'er up and wait for it to stand up and tip forward and then braaaaap a little gas and clutch slip, golden

Re: one finger handbrake????
I just learned SS clutch stalls and SS coasters, and Im using a Magura 13mm with the stock 03/04 636 rear master with my own weld on adaptor.. Before this setup I was using a FT rear master and a Brembo 16x18...With that setup I used to use 2 fingers sometimes when I was doing something faster on the gas and there was always a 1 pump lag. Loosing the FT rear master and getting the Magura was the best thing Ive ever done. I gained power and lost the 1 pump lag when I took off the FT rear master, and I only use one finger on the HB and one on the clutch now all day every day...No more 2 fingers needed and I can bring back coasters that I let fall really far back...
And as mentioned once you build up your 1 finger HB calus.... your money!

Re: one finger handbrake????
Hey ryan I used to have the same problem as you. I ran a 16x18 on my 636 and I had a really bad habit of using two fingers on the brake and none on the clutch.. or worse yet.. two on the brake and one on the clutch. It was just earlier this year that I finally was able to kick the habit. I actually switched to a Magura 13mm and it has way more feel and power. Just keep practicing man and force yourself into it! my stalls and off the peg coasters came to me just like that.
And if you haven't already.. cut the ball off the end of your clutch lever if you're running an easy pull. I never realized it was holding me back but it was.
