Motorcycle Repair: honda trac system, brake caliper, brake calipers


Question
I was reading something one of the experts wrote awhile ago. Sorry I forgot who it was, but it was a brief mention of the honda trac anti-dive system. I would really like to know how does the TRAC system interrelate with the front brake system?

Answer
Russell,
On the Honda anti-dive TRAC system
one of the two front brake calipers is hinged
behind the fork leg on a pivoting link, When you apply the brakes, the pads grip the disc and this tries to drag the brake caliper around with it. The caliper
pivots on the link and presses against the anti-dive activating valve which is built directly into
the fork leg. It then restricts the flow
of fork oil and stiffens the suspension.
