Common Motorcycle Myths & Misconceptions #5

Myth: Avoid using the front brakes if you are a rookie

Always remember that front brakes are more effective than rear brakes in stopping a bike. In fact, 70 percent of braking power comes from the front brakes. Hence, it is always advisable for a beginner to learn to use the front brakes in the right way from the start. Always remember, during an emergency apply both brakes as this will bring the bike to a stop at the earliest.
