They can be either mechanical (cable or brake rod) or hydrualic (incompressible fluid). Front works best as weight transference due to realatively high centre of gravity on motorcycles makes it less likely to lock up and slide. You have hand and foot levers for front and rear brakes, although some bikes have a 'linked' brake system which automatically applies both brakes. friction between pad material and brake rotor or drum converts motion into heat, so dont touch brakes if you just stopped

Basically the same as in a car, brake pads are pressed in against the wheel to slow you down

No it received't reason any damage to the bike, as long as you keep it upright on the rubber. once you you get an unpredicted red, WHY replaced into it unpredicted? Had you been gazing it eco-friendly for countless seconds, and it all of sudden replaced to blue or red or some extraordinary colour? perhaps you favor to decelerate at intersections? in case you get an unpredicted colour tomorrow in basic terms grab the grab lever and lean on the brakes! you need to properly be able to downshift some gears, yet be careful you do not reason the rear tire to fasten up and espresso facet your bike on the elementary. did not they inform you a thanks to attempt this throughout the time of your undemanding Riders route?
