ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a reducer unit for a motorcycle brake system including a hand master cylinder actuatable by hand force and a pedal master cylinder actuatable by force applied to the pedal. The reducer, which is connected to both master cylinders, ensures at all times optimum brake force distribution, in spite of different actuating forces. In this arrangement, the valve closure member controlling the connection between the pedal master cylinder and the rear-wheel brake is influenced by the pedal master cylinder pressure such that it is allowed to assume its closing position only when pressure is built up by the pedal master cylinder. Vacuum otherwise occurring in the rear-wheel brake is thus effectively avoided.
