Abstract
In a braking system for a motorcycle, a brake includes a plurality of applicators which are respectively operated by hydraulic braking pressures fed from first and second actuators, and a common antilock modulator is provided for controlling and reducing the hydraulic braking pressures from the first and second actuators. This makes the braking system having antilock control function simplified in structure.
Claims18
A braking system for a motorcycle having front and rear wheels, comprising
- a first brake actuator;
- a second brake actuator;
- a first brake for braking one of the wheels and having a first plurality of brake applicators for applying braking force to the wheel, a first one or more of said first plurality of applicators being operated by hydraulic braking pressure from said first brake actuator and a second one or more of said first plurality of applicators being operated by hydraulic braking pressure from said second brake actuator;
- a first antilock modulator interposed hydraulically between said first and second brake actuators and said first plurality of brake applicators to reduce the hydraulic braking pressure supplied to said first brake when the braking force applied to the wheel becomes excessive.
