Abstract
An anti-lock system for motorcycles which includes a monitoring circuit (3) nd an overbraking preventer (4) which compares the front-wheel brake pressure continuously during the reloading phases with a pressure reference threshold and if the threshold is exceeded, with simultaneous exceeding of a high vehicle deceleration threshold, transmits a control signal to the monitoring circuit (3). The control signal results in the pressure modulator (1) only very slowly increasing the front wheel brake pressure.
Claims5
An anti-lock system for motorcycles, which comprises:
- means for sensing respective speeds of the front and rear wheels of the motorcycle;
- means for applying braking pressure to the front wheel at a first rate;
- means responsive to the sensing means for determining deceleration of the motorcycle;
- means for comparing the pressure applied to the front wheel with a predetermined pressure reference threshold and, if said threshold is exceeded, along with simultaneous exceeding of a predetermine motorcycle deceleration limit, for generating a control signal to the brake pressure applying means for increasing the pressure applied to the front wheel at a second rate lower than the first rate.
