Abstract

Motorcycle braking test procedure and results are presented. Both straight line and combined cornering and braking manoeuvres were used. Test conditions included various initial speeds, turn radii, surface skid numbers, and levels of braking effect for two instrumented motorcycles. The effect of braking on transient yaw response in turns is demonstrated, also.
