CBS

AWS and CBS and the rules in Australia

TODO. I have not reviewed this yet. I can say for certain that the front brake has no effect on the back wheel. Not played enough on the stands, using the rear brake.

Mainly my issue with CBS on this motorbike is that most of the new training etc talks about putting more emphasis on the front brake, which has no ABS, therefore no protection.

What is CBS

The front brake is not effected - this is where we really want ABS since 80% of braking is done on this wheel.

The CBS is basically a rear wheel brake which then adds in about 20% on the front wheel.

The concept of this is that people tend to be taught not to slam on the front brake, and fear of going over the handles, so that emergency braking has a large rear wheel input.

The problem is, this is VERY old advice. Using the front brake, well, is far more effective at braking.
