Question:

brake system in motor bikes - how does it work.?

i wanted to know about brake failure in motor bikes.i have heard people saying that is impossible because they are independent brake systemlet us say, if the back wheel brake fails at high speed, isnt that risky to apply the front while brake?is my understanding wrong?what does it mean when they say two independent brakes then?

Answer:

LOOK at the part? Does it look new or does it look like the old one? If it's new maybe they just installed it wrong or put the wrong one on. If it's the old one check your reciept and see what they charged you for.
rear brake front brake on bikes are independant (usually some are conected) so if the front fails the rear still works vica versa using the front brake is what you would normally use when slowing from any speed look at the GP race riders coming into a corner with so much front brake the rear wheel is lifting off the road.
Most new riders use the rear brake more often than the front. If the rear fails then you apply the front brake GENTLY and slow down. It helps a lot if you can keep the bike upright and in a straight line while braking. I havent had a bike for a long while but was fairly sure that it had brake levers on both handlebars , and they were completely independant, using both was recommended since you actually get better braking from the front wheel because of the weight transfer.
Electric bike scooters are what i am thinking about getting to reduce my carbon footprint and reduce my transportation cost. I have a buddy who as one of these electric bike scooters and it is great to ride on so I have pretty much made my mind up.
maybe the arm is warped You could try bending it gently inwards
