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.
