What Are the Dangers of Using the Front Brake on a Motorcycle?
1 Answers
When using the front brake on a motorcycle, the rider may be thrown forward. Below is a detailed introduction to the dangers of using the front brake on a motorcycle: 1. Overturning: During riding, applying the front brake shifts the motorcycle's center of gravity forward. If not operated properly, there is a high risk of overturning. At higher speeds, using the front brake transfers all the weight to the front, making the rear lighter, which can easily cause the rear wheel to lift and result in a dangerous rollover. This is an extremely hazardous maneuver. Therefore, when riding a motorcycle, especially at higher speeds, it is crucial to avoid using the front brake. 2. Rear-end collision: Emergency braking also carries the risk of being rear-ended by the vehicle behind, a common scenario in urban driving. If the vehicle in front stops suddenly, after applying the emergency brake, it is advisable to ease off the brake slightly to allow the bike to roll forward a bit, giving the following vehicle some buffer space. Otherwise, if the bike comes to a complete stop, the vehicle behind may have no choice but to collide to force a stop.
