Brake cables are essential components of the braking system and allow the rider to operate the brakes. They consist of a steel cable that runs from the brake lever or brake pedal mechanism to the brake mechanism on the wheel.
The brake cables transmit the force exerted by the rider to the brake mechanism, causing the motorbike to decelerate or come to a complete stop. There are separate brake cables for front and rear brakes that function independently.
Motorbike brake cables must be checked regularly for wear, damage or excessive stretching. It is important that they are free from debris and well lubricated to ensure smooth movement.
When maintaining or replacing brake cables, it is important to follow the manufacturer's specific instructions. Only high quality brake cables should be used to ensure reliable braking performance and safety.
