If you brake sharply on a road with a slippery surface, should the pressure applied to the motorcycle's brakes be modified?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When riding on a slippery surface, you need to change your braking technique to avoid falling. As a general rule, less pressure should be applied to the front brake to avoid locking the front wheel. At the same time, the pressure on the rear brake should be increased slightly to balance the braking of the motorcycle. In addition, it is very important to reduce your speed and increase the safety distance from the vehicle ahead.
