Motorcycle Rear Suspension

Project Number: RD4-ABCK Motorcycle Rear Suspension A MAJOR QUALIFYING PROJECT REPORT SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE BY JACOB BRYANT ALLYSA GRANT ZACHARY WALSH DATE SUBMITTED: 26 April 2018 REPORT SUBMITTED TO: Professor Robert Daniello Worcester Polytechnic Institute Abstract Motorcycle Suspension is critical to ensuring both safety and comfort while riding. In recent years, older Honda CB motorcycles have become increasingly popular. While the demand has increased, the outdated Suspension technology has remained the same. In order to give these classic motorcycles the safety and comfort of modern bikes, we designed, analyzed and built a modular Suspension system. This system replaces the old twin-shock rear Suspension with a mono-shock design that utilizes an off-the-shelf shock absorber from a modern sport bike.

Here, k is the spring constant for the given spring and x is the distance the spring is compressed. While understanding the forces accompanying a suspension system spring is important, it is also important to understand the energy associated with the spring. The kinetic energy (KE) contained within a compressed spring is shown in the equation ...
