Correct answer
Yes; if they become wet, gentle brake application at low speed when safe can help dry them.
Yes. Wet brakes can lose effectiveness, including on a motorcycle and without both wheels having drum brakes. Carefully reduce speed and, when safe, apply the brakes gently at low speed to help dry them, following manufacturer instructions. Check that effectiveness returns; if it does not, stop in a safe place and seek assistance. Do not brake sharply or perform checks that compromise grip or surprise other road users.
