Patent ID: 7431131

Claim:
A vehicle comprising: at least one front wheel and at least one rear wheel; a front brake assembly operatively connected to the at least one front wheel; a rear brake assembly operatively connected to the at least one rear wheel; a first brake input mechanism configured to be manually manipulated by a vehicle rider; a first reservoir for supplying fluid to the first brake input mechanism and for compensating for wear in the front brake assembly; a second brake input mechanism configured to be manually manipulated by a vehicle rider and fluidly coupled to the first brake input mechanism; a second reservoir for supplying fluid to the second brake input mechanism and for compensating for wear in the rear brake assembly; wherein displacing the first brake input mechanism causes the front brake assembly to apply a front braking force to the at least one front wheel and displaces the second brake input mechanism to actuate the rear brake assembly to apply a rear braking force to the at least one rear wheel; and wherein displacing the second brake input mechanism causes the rear brake assembly to apply a rear braking force to the at least one rear wheel.
