Patent ID: 8290678

Claim:
A brake control method for a two-wheeled motor vehicle, comprising the steps of: detecting a front wheel cylinder pressure; detecting an amount of change in the front wheel cylinder pressure; determining whether or not the front wheel cylinder pressure and the amount of change in the front wheel cylinder pressure that have been detected correspond to a brake condition where lifting of a rear wheel can occur; and limiting increase of the front wheel cylinder pressure when it has been determined that the front wheel cylinder pressure and the amount of change in the front wheel cylinder pressure that have been detected correspond to the brake condition, wherein in said determining, when the state determined by the front wheel cylinder pressure and the amount of change in the front wheel cylinder pressure that have been detected is in a region that exceeds a boundary demarcated by a predetermined function of the amount of change in the front wheel cylinder pressure that relates to the front wheel cylinder pressure, it is judged that the state corresponds to the brake condition, the functions including at least one negative gradient section where the amount of change in the wheel cylinder pressure decreases with respect to an increase in the front wheel cylinder pressure.
