MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) Rider's Course Practice Test

In a linked or combined brake system, choosing either the front or rear brake will automatically engage both brakes simultaneously. This is designed to help provide balanced and controlled braking, especially in emergency situations where quick and decisive stopping power is needed. By having both brakes engaged when using either brake control, riders can more effectively bring the motorcycle to a stop while maintaining stability and control. This system is particularly beneficial for less experienced riders or those unfamiliar with effectively using both brakes separately.
