This motorcycle tire "stop -flat performance" test is intended to
describe a method of selecting a motorcycle tire and/or tire rim
combination to assure a safe stop should a sudden and total air
loss occur at high speed (55 MPH)

tires are designed.
SAFETY
Test to be conducted by skilled rider(s) wearing ?rotective
equipment; leathers, boots, helmets, etc. For test rider safety,
an observer should follow at a safe distance and/or test rider
should be under observation at all times.
This test outlines certain maneuvers and desired speeds; however,
the test is to be terminated at any time at the discretion of the
rider to minimize the possibility of personal injury.
PRE-TEST BREAK-IN
Tires to be inflated to recommended pressure and run for at least
10 miles at varying freeway and pursuit speeds.
TEST SEQUENCE
The 20# psi, 104 psi and 5# psi runs to be made prior to the zero
pressure run to familiarize the rider with the handling charac-
teristics of the motorcycle and to alert the rider to any uncon-
trollable movements that may be developing.
PASS/FAIL CRITERIA
To be acceptable tire must remain on rim bead seat section and
rider to feel comfortable and to feel he has control of motor-
cycle at all times during tests.
A-1
Annex A
Deemed unacceptable when tire bead(s) travel to drop center
portion of rim or comas off the rim; or motorcycle control
requires utmost' -skill of the rider to avoid upset; or rider feels
uncomfortable or feels he is not in control of motorcycle during
tests; or when it is expected the average skilled rider would
lose control.
TEST DESCRIPTION
Start and straight run.
Distance - one mile.
Attainable speed - 55 MPH.
Moderate and steady acceleration attainable.
Ability to place feet on floorboards within 15 feet after
start-up.
Rider's feet to remain on floorboards at all times.
Slightly more than normal power to start up acceptable.
Slight rear *end sway acceptable.
LANE CHANGE
Normal lane change at 55 MPH within 5 seconds and 60 feet.

RADIO SHIELDING AND GROUNDING: The entire electrical system shall be shielded and
grounded so that not ir+ore than 2.5 microvolts input to the receiver will be required
to produce at least 20 d3 quieting at the receiver output, when tested in accordance

with the radio and antenna mounted and connected as on current CHP automobiles in
service. This requirement shall be met without the use of any receiver extender,
noise blanker or impose noise suppressor type circuitry.
With the engine stopped, the radio receiver used in the test shall require not more
than 0.35 microvolt for 20 dB quieting, measured as shown on Figure 1, Step 1.
