ABSTRACT:
Piping associated with interlocked brakes for front and rear wheel brakes is to be simplified to improve maintainability and provide a brake system suitable particularly for a two-wheeled motor vehicle satisfying racing specifications. A braking system includes hydraulic brakes with three hydraulic systems which are a lever hydraulic system for a front wheel brake, an interlocked hydraulic system for a rear wheel brake and a pedal hydraulic system. A pressure sensor detects a hydraulic pressure in the lever hydraulic system and outputs the detected signal to a control unit in the interlocked hydraulic system through an electric wire. The control unit controls the operation of a motor, thereby causing a hydraulic pressure to be developed in a submaster cylinder, which hydraulic pressure is fed to the rear wheel brake through a control valve. On the other hand, the pedal hydraulic system has a piping independent of that of the interlocked hydraulic system and supplies a hydraulic pressure generated in a master cylinder for the rear wheel brake by operation of a brake pedal to the rear wheel brake through a route separate from the interlocked hydraulic system.
