Abstract
In a known motorcycle brake system, the pedal master cylinder acts on the front-wheel brakes, and the hand master cylinder acts only on the front-wheel brake. The brake force regulator's control behavior is influenced by the hand master cylinder. Known regulators have operational disadvantages and require a relatively high hand master cylinder pressure for shifting the stepped piston back to its rest position. Also, this pressure must be transmitted by the valve seat. These disadvantages are eliminated by the brake force regulator of the present invention which includes a pressure piston actuated by the pressure of the hand master cylinder and is in permanent interaction with the end surface of the smaller step of the stepped piston.
