TLDR
In this article, a rear wheel braking mechanism is operated in conjunction with a front wheel braking operation to determine a reduction in rear wheel load, and additional reduction of the rear-wheel load is prevented.
Abstract
In a braking device of a motorcycle, in which a rear wheel braking mechanism is operated in conjunction with a front wheel braking operation, accurate determination of a reduction in rear wheel load is provided, and additional reduction of the rear-wheel load is prevented. Determination of a reduction in rear-wheel load is based on vehicle speed in the front wheel braking operation, hydraulic pressure of a brake caliper on the front wheel side, and respective slip ratios of the front and rear wheels. When the rear-wheel load is reducing, hydraulic pressure of a brake caliper on the rear wheel side is controlled so as to keep the slip ratio of the rear wheel at or below a set value. A hydraulic modulator supplies/evacuates the hydraulic pressure to/from the brake caliper on the rear wheel side, and the slip ratio of the rear wheel is controlled by electrically controlling the hydraulic modulator.

System and method for controlling straddle-type vehicle

TL;DR: In this paper, a control system for a straddle-type vehicle with front and rear wheels, consisting of a load distribution changing section which changes a ground load distribution between the front and the rear wheels during driving of the vehicle, and a slip suppressing condition determiner section which determines whether or not a suppressing condition used to suppress a slip of one of the front or rear wheels is met.

Method and apparatus for regulating the braking force of motorcycles

TL;DR: In this paper, the wheel circumferential speed is detected by sensors and evaluated by a microprocessor which gives a signal off to a pressure modulator if given limit values of deceleration are exceeded in positive or negative direction (locking signal) and if, within a predetermined period of time, a signal which symbolizes ground adherence of the rear wheel does not occur (lift-off signal).

Method of anti-lock brake control for motorcycle vehicle

TL;DR: In this paper, an anti-lock brake system (ABS) for a motorcycle is presented, which is improved by measuring the position of lateral inclination of the motorcycle and adjusting at least one threshold value for the anti-skid control in response to the measurement.
