Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to control unstable behavior of a vehicle body that arises when braking during turning.A brake control method for when a two-wheeled motor vehicle is turning includes the steps of: judging whether or not the two-wheeled motor vehicle is turning; calculating a maximum braking force with which slipping of a front wheel will not arise and updating, on the basis of the calculation result, a stored maximum braking force for the front wheel; calculating a maximum braking force with which slipping of a rear wheel will not arise and updating, on the basis of the calculation result, a stored maximum braking force for the rear wheel; limiting the braking forces on the front wheel and the rear wheel to predetermined percentages of the corresponding maximum braking forces in a case where there has been a brake operation by a driver during turning; and bringing the braking forces on the front wheel and the rear wheel that have been limited closer to the corresponding updated maximum braking forces.
