What are the reasons for ineffective rear brakes on a motorcycle?
1 Answers
Ineffective rear brakes on a motorcycle may be due to excessive wear of the brake pads, which should be replaced promptly. Introduction to brake pads: Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are the most critical safety components in a vehicle's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking is decisively influenced by the brake pads. Braking principle: The working principle of braking mainly comes from friction. By utilizing the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc, as well as between the tires and the ground, the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle is converted into thermal energy after friction, bringing the vehicle to a stop. A good and efficient braking system must provide stable, sufficient, and controllable braking force, along with excellent hydraulic transmission and heat dissipation capabilities. This ensures that the force applied by the driver on the brake pedal is fully and effectively transmitted to the master cylinder and each wheel cylinder, while avoiding hydraulic failure and brake fade caused by high temperatures.
