Humps and irregular surfaces of the road can cause
the wheels to lose contact temporarily with the road
surface; if this happens the braking force that can be
transmitted to road surface is zero.
How the irregular road surface affects the
braking?
If the brakes are applied under these condition, the
ABS has to reduce the braking force to ensure and
maintain the directional stability when the wheels
regains its contact with the road surface. At this
instant the ABS must reduce the traction, so that the
wheels will continue to rotate under all imaginable
circumstances, because this is the precondition for
ensuring directional stability.
Why does brake lever pulsate during brake
application?
Vehicles fitted with ABS uses the conventional brake
system during normal operation.
But during hard
stop the brake lever feels different, i.e., a rapid
pulsation in the brake lever; This is absolutely
normal.
As soon as the actual circumstances arises, the
system reacts instantly and adjusts braking force
accordingly to achieve optimum braking.
Only the front brake of your motorcycle is
fitted with ABS not the rear brake.
Applying
rear brake alone can cause wheel skidding just
like normal braking system. Always apply both
front and rear brake for better performance.
The ABS can apply and release the pressure in the
brake circuit much faster than that rider can do with
brake lever to avoid wheel locking. So there is no
need to pump the brake, it requires only
continuous application.
