Front Brake
The front brake is the most powerful brake on a motorcycle, and it is typically operated by the right hand lever on the handlebars. When the rider squeezes the lever, fluid is sent to the front brake caliper, which squeezes the brake pads against the front brake disc, slowing down the motorcycle.
Rear Brake
The rear brake is less powerful than the front brake, and it is typically operated by the right foot pedal. When the rider steps on the pedal, fluid is sent to the rear brake caliper, which squeezes the brake pads against the rear brake disc, slowing down the motorcycle.
Combined Braking Systems
Some motorcycles have a combined braking system (CBS), which links the front and rear brakes together. When the rider squeezes the front brake lever, the CBS system automatically applies a small amount of pressure to the rear brake as well, helping to slow down the motorcycle more effectively.
Anti-lock Braking Systems
Some motorcycles also have an anti-lock braking system (ABS), which helps prevent the wheels from locking up during braking. This can be especially important in slippery conditions, as locked-up wheels can cause a motorcycle to skid and lose control.
