stem
circular or nearly circular projection or component with relatively constant outer diameter, including bolt and screw head, and with accessible free end
3.4
plate
flat and square projection or component with obvious four edges made of materials no more than 10mm
3.5
R point
design point that is established by the manufacturer according to three-dimensional coordinate system for specifying the position of each seat
3.6
group 1 parts
components slightly rubbing with the test device as shown in Figure A.1 during the process of movement
3.7
group 2 parts

4 Projection Classification Standard
4.1 External projections are classified with the test device as shown in Figure A.1 according to the method therein.
4.2 The test device is moved along the motorcycle according to the method as shown in A.3, to measure the contact angle α of the projection.
4.3 0°≤contact angle α<45°, Group 1 parts; 45°≤α≤90°, Group 2 parts.
4.4 Rear view mirrors and their assemblies that have obtained type certification are no longer classified since they are free from restriction of this standard.

5 Technical Requirements
5.1 Technical requirements for external projections of two-wheeled motorcycles
5.1.1 General technical requirements
5.1.1.1 Motorcycles shall be free from any external outward sharp components. Due to shape, dimension, azimuth angle, hardness and other factors, such components may injure pedestrians or riders in case of traffic accidents, e.g. motorcycles colliding or scratching pedestrians.
5.1.1.2 In service on the road, components liable to touch bodies of the others shall be such designed to meet the requirements of 5.1.2.
5.1.1.3 External projections are considered as conforming to 5.1.2 when they are made of or covered by soft rubber and plastics with Shore hardness less than A60(HA).
5.1.1.4 If two-wheeled motorcycles are equipped with panels for sealing the whole of part of the rider, passengers or spare parts, the manufacturer can choose the special sealed part of the motorcycle or the external projection of the finished motorcycle to meet the requirements of GB 11566.In the case of the sealed part meeting the requirements of GB 11566, the rest external projections shall meet the requirements of 5.1.2. Meanwhile, the manufacturer must clearly state the applicable standards to this part in corresponding technical documents.

5.1.2.4 Rear rack
For the motorcycles with rear racks, such rear racks shall be measured respectively under folded and unfolded state, which shall meet the requirements of 5.1.2.1 or 5.1.2.2.
5.1.2.5 Air guide sleeve windshield
5.1.2.5.1 Air guide sleeve windshield and other front projections for protecting instrument panel or headlamp shall be designed with a curvature radius of top edge not less than 2mm or wrapped on edges with protective materials as specified in 5.1.1.3.
5.1.2.5.2 The top edge refers to the part between the two tangent points of planes in 45° with the level planes, as shown in Figure 2.

5.1.2.5.3 If the top edge is designed into an arc, its radius shall not be greater than 0.7 times of thickness of the top edge of windshield or air guide sleeve.
5.1.2.5.4 For other devices similar to air guide sleeve or windshield for protecting instrument panel or headlamp, when measured from the upper surface of the headlamp or the instrument panel, the requirements of 5.1.2.1 and 5.1.2.2 do not apply if the projection height is not greater than 50mm.
5.1.2.6 Clutch and brake operating lever
Clutch and brake operating lever shall be designed into a sphere with a curvature radius not less than 7mm at the end. The curvature radius on the outer edge of the hand-held part of the control lever shall not be less than 2 mm. The control lever shall be on the off position when it is being inspected.
5.1.2.7 Front mudguard
5.1.2.7.1 The front edge of the front mudguard refers to the part between two tangent points formed by two vertical planes in 45° included angle with the longitudinal median plane of motorcycle and the front edge of the mudguard.
