Abstract
A method for controlling the braking force of motorcycles, which includes storing the vehicle deceleration value which was measured when a lift-off signal occurred as an optimal deceleration limit value and reducing the braking force applied to the front brakes if the motorcycle deceleration approaches or exceeds this limit. A lift-off signal is generated if after a predetermined time from the initiation of a braking cycle, it is determined that the rear wheel has lost adherence to the grounds.
