A method for stabilizing an unstable driving state in a single-track vehicle, in particular a motorcycle, wherein a prespecified driving situation, in particular braking, particularly while driving in a straight trajectory or a nearly straight trajectory, is detected; at least one yaw rate ({dot over (&#x3c8;)}) and/or one side slip angle (&#x3b2;) of the vehicle is determined for the detection of an unstable driving state of the vehicle; the determined yaw rate ({dot over (&#x3c8;)}) and/or the determined side slip angle (&#x3b2;) is/are evaluated; and when an unstable driving stat is detected, the braking torque of one wheel, in particular the front wheel, is reduced. A device for stabilizing an unstable driving state in a single-track vehicle is also disclosed.

A method and a device for detecting the initiation of a starting process of a motorcycle are disclosed. The method includes the step of acquiring a throttle valve angle (&#x3b1;), an engine speed (n) or both the throttle valve angle (&#x3b1;) and the engine speed (n). The method further includes the step of analyzing the throttle valve angle (&#x3b1;), the engine speed (n) or both the throttle valve angle (&#x3b1;) and the engine speed (n) to detect the initiation of the starting process of the motorcycle. The device includes both a means for acquiring and a means for analyzing the throttle valve angle (&#x3b1;), the engine speed (n) or both the throttle valve angle (&#x3b1;) and the engine speed (n).

An electronic brake system and a method for regulating the brake pressure in an electronically-controlled brake system of a motorcycle are provided. The method includes the step of actively building a brake pressure in a wheel brake circuit to prevent a motorcycle from moving. The method further includes the step of maintaining the brake pressure in the wheel brake circuit once (i) the motorcycle comes to a standstill or is at a standstill or is approximately at a standstill, and (ii) an activation condition is fulfilled.

A device and method for determining a roll angle of a motorcycle are disclosed. The method includes the step of acquiring a rolling rate ({dot over (&#x3bb;)}) of the motorcycle. A first roll angle variable (&#x3bb;) is determined from the rolling rate ({dot over (&#x3bb;)}). At least one vehicle movement dynamics characteristic variable is determined from a velocity (v), a rotational speed ({dot over (&#x3c8;)}), and/or an acceleration ({umlaut over (z)}, &#xff;) of the motorcycle. A second roll angle variable (&#x3bb;) is determined from one or more vehicle movement dynamics characteristic variables. The roll angle (&#x3bb;) is calculated on the basis of the roll angle variables (&#x3bb;, &#x3bb;).
