7.1.C. - Page 13 2340- 2219R1 <br /> • Stability of a motorcycle is defined as the movement of a motorcycle operating as designed under all speeds, lean <br /> angles, turns, roadway surfaces, acceleration, deceleration, and braking. <br /> • Stability is not limited to suspension but is to include wheels, tires and frame. <br /> • Movement of the UUT shall correct itself without input from the rider that includes but is not limited to acceleration, <br /> deceleration and changing of lean angle. <br /> Test 1: High Speed Performance <br /> a) Prior to performing the test, 2 warm -up laps will be ridden by each test rider. <br /> b) 5 laps will be performed by each test rider for testing purposes. <br /> Acceptance Criteria: <br /> o UUT failing to meet speeds as follow for each turn per "Attachment 1" shall be considered "non- compliant ". <br /> • Turn 1: Exit speed >_ 90 mph during each run. <br /> • Turn 2: Exit speed >_ 85 mph during each run <br /> • Turn 3: Exit speed >_ 100 mph during each run. <br /> o UUT shall not continuously scrape, drag or rest upon the roadway during turns. <br /> o Instability shall correct itself without input from the rider that includes but is not limited to acceleration, deceleration <br /> and changing of lean angle. <br /> o UUT's tendency to track in straight line without buffeting, oscillation, chassis movement, wobble, weave, handlebar <br /> shaking, sway or other feeling of looseness will be evaluated for duration of the test. <br /> Test 2: Collision Avoidance <br /> a) Collision avoidance will be evaluated on a flat, level, dry, paved surface. <br /> b) 2 complete collision avoidance exercises will be performed by each test rider from 65mph. <br /> c) Rider will make an aggressive brake application (threshold braking) for a distance of approximately 115', release <br /> the brakes, followed immediately by an aggressive lane change to the right/left within 10'. <br /> d) At conclusion of lane change, rider will then make an aggressive brake application to a stop. <br /> Acceptance Criteria: <br /> o UUT shall maintain stability without buffeting, oscillation, chassis movement, wobble, weave, handlebar shaking, <br /> sway or other feeling of looseness. <br /> 4.7 FLAT TIRE <br /> Test 1: Flat tire test <br /> a) Both new tires, pre- mounted and balanced wheel assembly, shall be tested separately. <br /> b) Decrease rear tire pressure at increments of 25% of recommended pressure and perform test (f). Test <br /> will be conducted four (4) times until tire pressure is zero. <br /> c) Replace rear tire with a new tire. <br /> d) Decrease front tire pressure at increments of 25% of recommended pressure and perform test (f). Test will <br /> be conducted four (4) times until tire pressure is zero. <br /> e) Replace front tire with a new tire. <br /> f) UUT shall be operated with one tire flat for the following; (a) 1 /2 mile, (b) Speed at 55 mph and (c) <_ 8 lane <br /> changes, <br /> g) Manufacture will supply all tires and wheels for testing. <br /> Acceptance Criteria: <br /> o Tire bead shall remain seated on the rim. <br /> o UUT and wheels shall not exhibit undue movement (at a minimum, but not limited to buffeting, oscillation, chassis <br /> movement, wobble, weave, handlebar shake or sway) throughout the test procedure. <br /> MINTON, W.
