Wet brakes
After the motorcycle has been
washed, ridden through water
or ridden in the rain, the brake
disks and pads may be wet (or
iced-over in winter), and may
not take effect immediately.
The brakes have to dry before
they start to bite.
Salt on brakes
The brakes may fail to take
effect immediately if the motor-
cycle was ridden on salt-cov-
ered roads and the brakes were
not applied for some time.
The layer of salt on the brake
disks and pads has to be worn
off before the brakes start to
bite.
