3.6.2 Braking

WARNING

Make sure that your hands can reach and squeeze the brake levers

comfortably. If your hands are too small to operate the levers

comfortably, consult your dealer before riding the bike. The lever

reach may be adjustable; or you may need a dierent brake lever

design.

The shorter the brake lever reaches, the more critical it is to have

correctly adjusted brakes, so that full braking power can be applied

within available brake lever travel. Brake lever travel insucient to

apply full braking power can result in loss of control, which may result

in serious injury or death.

To make sure that you have maximum friction available, keep your

wheel rims and brake pads or the disk rotor and caliper clean and free

of dirt, lubricants, waxes or polishes. The braking action of a bike is a

function of the friction between the braking surfaces.

3.6.2.1 Learning how to brake

WARNING

Practice braking and weight transfer techniques where there is no

tracorotherhazardsanddistractions.

Learn which brake lever controls which bike

It’s very important to your safety that you learn and remember which brake

lever controls which brake on your bike. Traditionally, in the U.S. the right

brake lever controls the rear brake and the left brake lever controls the

front brake; but, to check how your bike’s brakes are set up, squeeze one

brake lever and look to see which brake, front or rear, engages. Now do the

same with the other brake lever. Two keys to eective speed control and

safe stopping are controlling wheel lockup and weight transfer.

Learn to practice slowing and stopping smoothly

Brakes are designed to control your speed, not just to stop the bike.

Maximum braking force for each wheel occurs at the point just before the

wheel “locks up” (stops rotating) and starts to skid. Once the tire skids,

you actually lose most of your stopping force and all directional control.

You need to practice slowing and stopping smoothly without locking up

a wheel. The technique is called progressive brake modulation. Instead

of jerking the brake lever to the position where you think you’ll generate

appropriate braking force, squeeze the lever, progressively increasing

the braking force. If you feel the wheel begin to lock up, release pressure

just a little to keep the wheel rotating just short of lockup. It’s important

to develop a feel for the amount of brake lever pressure required for each

wheel at dierent speeds and on dierent surfaces. To better understand

this, experiment a little by walking your bike and applying dierent

amounts of pressure to each brake lever, until the wheel locks.
