4
Causes for poor braking
1. If the brake shoes / pads or drum / disc are worn
out or if there is water or oil on them, sufficient
friction does not develop and brakes do not work
well.
2. Even when the brake works normally, if the road
surface is wet or the tyre surface is worn-out,
tyres do not take a firm hold on the surface,
increasing the stopping distance.
As the vehicle speed increases, the stopping distance
also increases progressively. Be sure that, you have
sufficient distance between you and the vehicle or
obstruction ahead of you. Avoid directing the water jet
directly towards brake drum / disc pads during water
wash.
Using only the front or rear brake is dangerous and can
cause skidding and loss of control. Apply both the
brakes together and with great care on a wet road or
other slippery surfaces.
Any abrupt braking on slippery or irregular roads can
cause loss of rider control.
3. Approximately 60% braking effect is from front
brake. Non-usage of front brake causes poor
braking.
