ABSTRACT:
A motorcycle braking system distributing liquid pressure to a first front brake, a second front brake and a rear brake includes a first master cylinder actuated by a front brake lever and a second master cylinder actuated by a back brake pedal. The first master cylinder is connected directly to the first front brake and the second front brake. The brake system also employs a pressure controller that distributes liquid pressure from the first and second master cylinders to the second front brake according to the liquid pressure from the second master cylinder. A secondary master cylinder supplies a secondary liquid pressure to the rear brake in response to actuation of the first front brake. The secondary liquid pressure supplied to the back brake is transformed by a pressure-transformer. Using these components, the braking system implements a braking control method that provides improved control of the motorcycle while braking.
