This standard is drafted in accordance with the rules given in the GB/T 1.1-2009.
This standard replaces GB/T 5373-2006 Measuring method of dimensions and masses parameter for motorcycles and mopeds. The following main technical changes have been made with respect to GB/T 5373-2006:
——GB/T 8170-1987 is replaced by GB/T 8170 (see Clause 2 of this standard; Clause 2 of Edition 2006);
——GB/T 5359.3-1996 and GB/T 5359.7-1996 are replaced by GB/T 5359.3 (see Clauses 2 and 3 of this standard; Clauses 2 and 3 of Edition 2006);
——GB/T 5359.5-1996 and GB/T 5359.6-1996 are replaced by GB/T 5359.4 (see Clauses 2 and 3 of this standard; Clauses 2 and 3 of Edition 2006);
——The definitions of “wheel center” and “axle load specific value” are added (see 3.1 and 3.5);
——The names of some measurement items are modified; the reference plane is modified into coordinate plane (see 5.1.1 of this standard; 5.1.1 of Edition 2006); the maximum usable length of vehicle frame behind cab is modified into the maximum usable length of chassis behind cab (see 5.2.1 of this standard; 5.2.1 of Edition 2006); the passing angle is modified into ramp angle, and the angle of inclination is modified into banking angle (see 5.2.4 and 5.3.4 of this standard; 5.2.4 and 5.3.4 of Edition 2006);
——The vehicle state at which the dimensional parameters are measured is changed from complete vehicle dry mass state to complete vehicle kerb mass state (see 5.1.2 of this standard; 5.1.2 of Edition 2006);
——The measurement requirements and related diagrams of motorcycles with sidecars are modified (see 5.2.2 and 5.3.6.3);
——The measurement requirements and related diagrams of “kingpin inclination angle” and “kingpin caster angle” are modified (see 5.2.4);
——The definition of “main vehicle camber” is modified into “wheel camber”, and the measurement requirements are modified accordingly (see 5.2.4 of this standard; 5.2.4 of Edition 2006).
