What is the correct way to perform an emergency brake on a motorcycle?

When braking at high speeds, the braking force on the front wheel must be greater than that on the rear wheel. Below is relevant information about braking: 1. Definition: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of a moving locomotive, vehicle, or other transportation tools or machinery. The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and install corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base to generate braking torque under external force. The braking device is a mechanical braking device that can slow down the vehicle, also known as a decelerator. 2. Classification: Braking can be divided into emergency braking and daily braking. During emergency braking, be aware of the potential hazard of rear-end collisions from following vehicles.
I've been riding motorcycles for over 20 years. The key to emergency braking is staying calm and not panicking. When I was a beginner, I once fell by grabbing the front brake too hard. Now I know the proper technique: first release the throttle and pull in the clutch to slow down the bike; then apply the rear brake to stabilize the rear wheel, followed by gradually pressing the front brake with even pressure - don't squeeze it suddenly. This prevents the front wheel from locking up and causing a flip. If your bike has ABS, you can brake more confidently as it automatically prevents skidding. Remember to shift your body weight backward to reduce forward tipping risk. Avoid attempting to steer - maintaining a straight line is safest. Practice emergency braking regularly in empty spaces to build muscle memory. Safety is no small matter - these skills can save lives, and I recommend everyone takes the time to practice them.
