• 5.) Airbags

On a motorcycle, the airbag lacks a firm support surface behind it. To solve this problem, we can employs tether straps that anchor the airbag
to the frame for support.
A motorcycle may encounter a wide variety of crash conditions, and its attitude may vary significantly depending on the angle of impact.
The Motorcycle Airbag System only deploys in a severe frontal collision when forces over a present value are detected. In principle, it should not deploy
during collisions from the side or rear, nor during falls.
Because a collision may involve a variety of factors, such as angled impact or the motorcycle getting wedged under a truck, the airbag cannot help lessen the
severity of injuries in all cases. The airbag may also deploy due to a strong shock caused by the front wheel falling into a large hole or ditch, or in a collision
with a curb or other object.

• 1) Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

anti-lock braking system essentially does is constantly monitor

the revolution of the wheels with an ECU – sometimes single
channel but mostly dual channel (both the wheels). When the
computer detects a wheel lock-up, common when braking hard
on less than ideal surfaces, it steps in by limiting the braking
force the rider exerts by either squeezing the lever or pressing
the foot pedal and keep the wheel spinning. Once the
imminence of the locking (and therefore skidding) is avoided,
the system re-applies the maximum braking force until the next
skid is anticipated. By limiting the maximum force of the
braking manoeuvre, the ABS systems practically allow riders to
use the greatest stopping force possible without locking the
wheels.
