Sec. 86.529-78  Road load force and inertia weight determination.

    (a) Road load as a function of speed is given by the following 
equation:

F = A + CV \2\

The values for coefficients A and C and the test inertia are given in 
Figure F78-9. Velocity (V) is in km/h and force (F) is in newtons. The 
forces given by this equation shall be simulated to the best ability of 
the equipment being used.
    (b) The inertia given in Figure F78-9 shall be used. Motorcycles 
with loaded vehicle mass outside these limits shall be tested at an 
equivalent inertial mass and road load force specified by the 
Administrator.

    (c) The dynamometer shall be adjusted to reproduce the specified 
road load as determined by the most recent calibration. Alternatively, 
the actual vehicle road load can be measured and duplicated:
    (1) Make at least 5 replicate coastdowns in each direction from 70 
to 60 km/h on a smooth, level, track under balanced wind conditions. The 
driver must have a mass of 8010 kg and be in the 
normal driving position. Record the coastdown time.
    (2) Average the coastdown times. Adjust the dynamometer load so that 
the coastdown time is duplicated with the vehicle and driver on the 
dynamom-eter.
    (3) Alternate procedures may be used if approved in advance by the 
Administrator.
