Abstract:
1. A motorcycle brake system comprising: a hydraulically actuable front wheel brake circuit and rear wheel brake circuit; two master brake cylinders for the independent actuation of the two brake circuits; an inlet valve and an outlet valve provided for brake pressure regulation in each brake circuit; a two-circuit pump for the supply of pressure to the front wheel and rear wheel brake circuits; a pump suction valve and a pump pressure valve in each brake circuit; a low-pressure accumulator connected upstream of each of the pump suction valves; a front wheel brake in the front wheel brake circuit and a rear wheel brake in the rear wheel brake circuit; and a cut-off valve and a switching valve in one of the brake circuits which can be acted on by a feed pressure of the pump independently of an actuation of the master brake cylinder assigned to the wheel brake of said one of the brake circuits, wherein the pump suction valve has a higher opening pressure in the brake circuit that does not have the cut-off valve and switching valve than the pump suction valve that is arranged in the brake circuit that has the cut-off valve and the switching valve.
