Where are the brakes on a motorcycle?

[McEmmett]

The front brake of a motorcycle is always located on the right handlebar. The position of the rear brake depends on the specific model. For cross bikes and underbone motorcycles, the rear brake is operated by the right foot. For scooters, the rear brake is either a handle-type located on the left handlebar or a foot-type located on the footboard, controlled by the right foot. Motorcycle brake principle: A disc brake consists of a steel brake disc connected to the wheel and brake pads sandwiched between them. When a motorcyclist operates a brake, hydraulic pressure controlled through the brake line causes the brake pads to squeeze both sides of the brake disc. The resulting friction slows down or stops the brake disc and the connected wheel. Due to repeated use, the surface of the brake pads wears out, so they must be replaced periodically. The rear wheel of a motorcycle can have either drum brakes or disc brakes. If it's a drum brake, the rear wheel has a brake drum, which can be seen in the center of the rear wheel. If it's a disc brake, the rear wheel has a brake disc, also visible in the center of the rear wheel. Cars also have drum brakes and disc brakes in their braking systems. Most cars use disc brakes, but drum brakes have their own advantages. Drum brakes provide stronger braking force and are sealed, preventing sand, stones, and water from entering the braking system. A car's braking system consists of a vacuum booster, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake pads, and brake discs. When you open the engine hood, you can see a black disc on the driver's side below the windshield—this is the vacuum booster. In front of the vacuum booster is the master cylinder, which has a small reservoir for brake fluid. When the brake pedal is pressed, the vacuum booster provides assistance, making it easier for the driver to apply the brakes. Without the vacuum booster, it would be very difficult for the driver to press the brake pedal using only their own strength. Brake fluid needs to be replaced periodically because it easily absorbs moisture. If the brake fluid's water content is too high, it can reduce braking force and increase stopping distance. Brake fluid should be replaced when its moisture content reaches 3%.
