Abstract

This research deals with influence of tire characteristics and of rider's lean angle on characteristics of two-wheeled vehicle. At first, the influences of two parameters calculated by front and rear camber thrust and of lean angle of a rider on characteristic of the two-wheeled vehicle are analyzed. Next, influences of rider's lean angle on slalom are analyzed using the quasi-steady state analysis. It is found that these have strong influence to the sideslip angle of the vehicle.
