In a typical motorcycle, there are not two brake pedals. Instead, there are two separate controls for the front and rear brakes: the front brake lever and the rear brake pedal. These controls allow the rider to modulate and apply the brakes independently.
The front brake lever is usually located on the right handlebar of the motorcycle, within easy reach of the rider's right hand. When the rider squeezes the lever, hydraulic pressure is applied to the front brake calipers, which then clamp down on the front brake discs or rotors, slowing down the motorcycle.
The rear brake pedal, on the other hand, is positioned on the right side of the motorcycle, near the rider's right foot. When the rider presses down on the pedal, it actuates a hydraulic mechanism that applies pressure to the rear brake caliper or drum, depending on the motorcycle's design. This action causes the rear brake to engage and contribute to slowing down or stopping the motorcycle.
The front and rear brake controls are not mechanically connected to each other. They operate independently, allowing the rider to apply the brakes selectively or simultaneously, depending on the desired braking force and the riding conditions. By controlling the front and rear brakes separately, riders can achieve better stability, balance, and control over their motorcycles during braking maneuvers.
It's worth noting that while the front brake provides the majority of the stopping power in most motorcycles, the rear brake still plays a crucial role in overall braking performance and stability. Proper braking technique involves using both brakes effectively to achieve optimal control and stopping power.
