Abstract

In a method for regulating the braking force of motorcycles, 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), whereupon the pressure modulator reduces the pressure in the front brake circuit.
