Abstract
A brake assembly for a motorcycle provided with a hydraulically actuated front brake and rear brake for a front wheel and a rear wheel, respectively, including, first brake actuating means and second brake actuating means applying hydraulic pressure, and an electronic control means, having a first hydraulic system extending from the first brake actuating means connected to the front brake, and a second hydraulic system extending from the second brake actuating means connected to the rear brake, the electronic control means receiving detection values from each of a first actuation amount detection means for detecting an actuation amount of the first brake actuating means, and second actuation amount detection means for detecting an actuation amount of the second brake actuating means and subjecting the values to computation, outputting control signals to a first hydraulically controlled actuator and a second hydraulically controlled actuator based on the result of computation, and actuating the front brake using the first hydraulically controlled actuator and actuating the rear brake using the second hydraulically controlled actuator.
