A procedure for measuring motorcycle braking performance by the tow-method was validated. Three motorcycles were subjected to this procedure, which was developed for NHTSA by the Highway Safety Research Institute of the University of Michigan. A water delivery system was added to the test hardware and a Wetted Performance section was integrated into the existing test program. The testing showed that the procedure addresses the problems of test rider safety and proportioning of braking effort satisfactorily. Good correlation was shown between the water delivery system and the TTI rainfall simulator.
