Abstract

Content: Technology for measuring and diagnosing the damping force of motorcycle shock absorbers and determining the constant of coil springs when mounted in-vehicle is difficult. Resultantly, it is clear that only the damping force can be detected by eliminating the spring force effect and the un-sprung mass, when the displacement of the wheel is zero.
