Why can't the rear brake be used for motorcycles?
1 Answers
The front brake configuration of motorcycles is generally higher than that of the rear brake. Small-displacement motorcycles usually adopt a front disc brake and rear drum brake. Here are the relevant introductions: Rear brake: When the speed is relatively slow, it is generally sufficient to use only the rear brake. When the speed is fast, both the front and rear brakes should be used simultaneously, and the braking force ratio between the front and rear should be reasonably matched. This force ratio needs to be adjusted flexibly according to the situation, and sufficient practice is required to fully master the performance of the motorcycle. Front brake: When the speed is fast, due to the forward shift of the center of gravity during high-speed driving, the front brake plays a more significant role. High-speed braking is relatively dangerous, so it should be gradually adapted from slow to fast. Do not depress the clutch or downshift when braking, as this can fully utilize the engine's braking performance to shorten the braking distance and more reliably ensure that the braking does not lose control. When braking and reducing the speed to a sufficiently low level, then depress the clutch and downshift to the appropriate gear.
