YOGYAKARTA Applying the correct way to brake an automatic motorbike can reduce the risk of accidents while driving. For this reason, the automatic motorcycle braking technique is one of the things that must be controlled by every driver.
Originally, the automatic motorcycle braking technique was very easy to control, because drivers only needed to pull the brakes. On the automatic motorbike, the braking system consists of the front brake and rear brakes. The front brake is located to the right, while the rear brake is to the left.
Although the braking process is quite easy to do, there are still many motorists who make braking errors, such as suddenly pulling the brakes, avoiding using the front brake or using only one brake when slowing the speed of the vehicle.
The error in braking automatic motorbikes can have an impact on the condition of the motorbike and increase the risk of accidents while driving.
So, how to brake the right automatic motor? Check out the full information below.
How To Brake The Right Matic Motorcycle
Quoted from the Honda Mitra Jaya page, here's how to brake the right automatic motor to stay safe and comfortable while driving.
1. Use front and rear brakes simultaneously
It has been stated above that the automatic motor braking system consists of the front brake on the right and rear brakes on the left hand. When slowing down the speed of the vehicle, don't just rely on one of the brakes, because this can make the motor unstable. The solution, pull both brakes simultaneously for more effective braking.
To do so, pull the rear brake a little first, then followed by the front brake. This method helps avoid slips, especially on slippery roads.
2. Avoid suddenly pulling the front brake
Pulling the front brake too hard when the motorbike is speeding can make the front wheel locked. As a result, the motorbike can fall and the driver can fall from the vehicle. To avoid this, use the front brake with gradual pressure, not sudden.
3. Adjust speed to road conditions
If you drive in a descent, slippery road, or full bend, reduce the speed of the motorbike. That way, you have more time to react and control braking.
Avoid using the brakes continuously on the downhill road, because it can make the brakes heat and lose grip power.
4. Don't rely on the rear brake
Not a few automatic motorcyclists only use the rear brakes when slowing down the vehicle. In fact, if you only use the rear brake, the braking distance becomes longer and increases the risk of slipping.
5. Pay attention to body posture when braking
Body posture can actually affect vehicle stability during braking. The following is the correct position of the body when braking:
6. Don't brake at the corner
Never pull the brakes when the vehicle passes through the corner, because the braking process at the corner can make the motor lose balance. It is better to reduce speed before entering the corner, then focus on maintaining the stability of the motorbike when it bends.
7. Recognize the brake feature on the automatic motor
Some of the newest automatic motors are equipped with features such as a CBS (combi brake system) or ABS (anti-lock braking system).
CBS divides front and rear brake pressures automatically. While the ABS feature prevents wheels from being locked when braking suddenly.
