What is the correct way to brake a motorcycle?
1 Answers
1. The correct way to brake a motorcycle is as follows: 1. When at high speed, the braking force on the front wheel must be greater than that on the rear wheel. 2. At high speed, the braking force on the front wheel must not cause the front wheel to lock up. 3. When braking uphill, the braking force on the front wheel can be appropriately increased. 4. When braking downhill, the braking force on the rear wheel can be appropriately increased. 5. During emergency braking, the braking force should be slightly less than the force required to lock the wheels. 6. On slippery roads, the rear wheel should be braked before the front wheel. Below is a summary: First, release the throttle, straighten the bike, use the front brake as the main brake and the rear brake as the auxiliary, apply the rear brake first, then the front brake, and combine it with engine braking. Never lock the brakes completely; allow the wheels to rotate slightly rather than slide. The specific approach should be adjusted based on road and vehicle conditions. Note: It is best to use both brakes together because the front brake is primarily designed to assist the rear brake in achieving the shortest braking distance. Using only the front or rear brake alone will not achieve the shortest stopping distance; combining both is necessary for optimal braking performance.
