Note when using motorcycle disc brakes

Disc brakes make braking force larger and more efficient if used correctly. Conversely, if not used properly, this type of expensive brake can also cause traffic accidents.

Currently most types of station cars, hand trucks, sports cars are equipped with disc brakes (also called oil brakes) thanks to the advantages of shorter braking distance, can integrate anti-lock system ABS . Popular vehicles such as the new Honda SH, Honda PCX, or new Honda Winner 150, 150 150 Yamaha Exciter, all use disc brakes.

Disc brakes are more efficient if used correctly.

The reason disc brake is more and more popular because this type of brake has great advantages is to create a large brake force by friction of brake pads and brake discs through the driving force of brake fluid. The braking force is driven from the brake arm to the brake fluid and then the piston pushes the brake pads pressed against the disc. When the driver releases the brake, the brake oil will retract back to the reservoir and pison will move back so that there is no pressure on the brake pads, causing the braking phenomenon.

However, not all drivers know how to use disc brakes, especially women, resulting in many unfortunate accidents. According to some safety driving experts, in addition to fully complying with safety factors when driving vehicles, from observation range, distance, vehicle signal . motorbike drivers have disc brakes. need to squeeze the brakes first first and then squeeze the disc brakes usually in front.

When braking the disc first, the driver is not allowed to squeeze the brakes hard to prevent the braking of the brakes (except in the case of an ABS system) or the car is suddenly changed in speed, the inertial force will make the driver difficult to keep equal, potential risk of causing serious accidents. Similarly, the driver does not squeeze the brakes with the whole hand because then the braking force will be too strong.

The best way at this time is that the driver needs to brake with 2 fingers to control the brake force appropriately , while squeezing the brakes in a clickless manner so that the steering wheel is not locked, the driver easily controls the vehicle in the desired direction. .
