Brake brake system,
It's an important part of a motorcycle,
Keep the brake accessories in the best condition at all times,
Is an important prerequisite for us to drive motorcycles safely,
When there's a problem with the brakes,
It must be resolved in time,
In serious cases, spare parts should be replaced.
There are more and more motorcycle accessories on the market today,
It's hard to tell the good from the bad,
Especially brake shoes and pads,
The slightest mistake can lead to the purchase of inferior products,
Here are some ways to tell,
Hope to stay away from inferior products.
Tips: Brake shoes and brake pads are key safety components of motorcycles, but also consumable products.
It is recommended to check regularly, replace if necessary, for the happiness and safety of you and others, please do not buy inferior brake shoes or brake pads.
Method of identifying motorcycle brake accessories
(1) Brake shoe
Brake shoe is one of the key components of motorcycle brake system, generally used for drum brakes. Through the friction between the brake hub, the brake torque is generated, the wheel rotation speed is slowed down, the braking purpose is achieved, and the safe driving is ensured.
Pure brake shoe: The use of high-quality friction materials, moderate friction coefficient, stable thermal friction performance, good wear resistance.
The brake shoe body is made of aluminum alloy die-casting, with good stiffness; The brake shoe body and friction material are bonded with strong adhesive, and waterproof adhesive is applied around it for good stability.
Inferior brake shoes: the friction materials of its products are inferior, and the friction is insufficient, which can easily lead to an increase in the braking distance, and even cause serious brake failure.
Poor quality brake shoe body material is poor, tensile strength is low, easy to break, resulting in wheel lock, resulting in falling accidents; The inferior brake shoe body and friction material are bonded with ordinary glue, and the waterproof glue is not applied around, and the friction material is easy to fall off, resulting in brake failure.

(2) brake pads
Brake pads are one of the key components of the motorcycle brake system and are generally used for disc brakes. Through the friction between the brake disc, the brake torque is generated, and the speed of wheel rotation is slowed down, so as to achieve the purpose of braking and ensure safe driving.
Pure brake pads: The friction material is made of copper-based anti-wear material, pressed by special process, moderate hardness, and good match with the brake disc, which not only ensures stable and reliable braking, but also ensures low wear rate and long life;
The production process of pure brake pads is strict, which ensures that the friction material is firmly bonded on the metal plate, and the friction material is not easy to break. Pure brake pads in water, rain or high temperature continuous braking friction attenuation is small, to ensure parking safety.
Poor quality brake pads: the product friction material material is poor, the friction coefficient is not enough, can not provide enough braking force, resulting in a significant increase in the braking distance, the risk of collision increased.
The friction material of inferior brake pads has poor heat resistance, and the friction material is easy to crack and fall off at high temperature or continuous braking, resulting in brake failure. Poor quality brake pad production process is poor, friction material on the metal plate is unstable, easy to fall off, resulting in brake failure. Brake failure, if it occurs on a complex road or the driver mishandled, the consequences will be unimaginable, light damage to the vehicle, heavy car death.

Tips: Brake shoes and brake pads are key safety components of motorcycles, but also consumable products. It is recommended to check regularly, replace if necessary, for the happiness and safety of you and others, please do not buy inferior brake shoes or brake pads.
(3) The correct braking mode of the motorcycle
As a qualified motorcycle friend, we must master the correct braking mode, poor braking habits will accelerate the wear of brake accessories, resulting in reduced braking performance, if you have bad braking habits, please change as soon as possible, which is related to your driving safety.
Operating essentials
First loosen the throttle, swing the body straight, the main brake is supplemented by the rear brake, the first brake is the rear brake, and then the front brake, with the engine brake, be sure not to put the brake dead, to let the wheel can turn slightly, do not let the wheel slide but to roll. The specific conditions should be combined with road conditions.
Braking skill
1, high speed when the strength of the front wheel brake must be greater than the strength of the rear wheel.
2, at high speed, the strength of the front wheel brake must not make the front wheel lock.
3. When braking uphill, the braking force of the front wheel can be appropriately large.
4, downhill braking, the braking force of the rear wheel can be appropriately large.
5, when the emergency brake, the strength of the brake is slightly less than the strength of the hug. 6. When braking on slippery roads, the rear wheel should brake before the front wheel.
