Braking Safely on a Motorcycle

Brakes are very important for a motorcycle esspecially when we reach a stopline or having a emergency brake when we are riding on the road. Always use both brakes each time when we slow down or stop. It is important to apply both brakes simultaneously. Many riders believe the rear brake should be applied first. The sooner we apply the front brake, the sooner we slow down. As we are slowing down use the rear brake progressively, this will make the motorcycle more stable.

Many inexperienced motorcyclists fall off when braking. Some motorcycles have front brakes that can stand the machine on its nose. Practice braking hard on an empty road before they have to do a real emergency stop. They should be able to momentarily lock the front.
