- SAE 2020-01-0880, Quantifying Engine Braking for Various Common Street Motorcycles by Jansen, LeBlanc, Wilhelm, Shaw, et al.
ABSTRACT
- Motorcycle engine braking was measured in each forward gear for a cross-section of typical street motorcycles. Using GPS data acquisition and video, deceleration relative to speed was examined. Motorcycle characteristics included various engine displacements and types of motorcycle. The data acquired will give more insight into the extent which engine braking is a factor for deceleration, a topic which has not been addressed in a peer-reviewed journal article to this date
- List of bikes tested:
