What should a motorcyclist do if the brake system fails while riding?
If the brake system fails, the correct procedure is to shift to a lower gear to help slow the motorcycle. Engine braking through lower gears enables the rider to gradually reduce speed without relying entirely on the brake system, increasing control and safety until the bike can stop safely.
