Abstract
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 (ψ)}) and/or one side slip angle (β) of the vehicle is determined for the detection of an unstable driving state of the vehicle; the determined yaw rate ({dot over (ψ)}) and/or the determined side slip angle (β) 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.
