“…2: Response for degree of discomfort in accelarating situation Based on the results, 6% to 7% of respondentsexpresence severe discomfort from vibration ofthe foot pedal either when the motorcycle is idle or during acceleration. These results are in line with those of previous literature [23][24][25][26]. In addition, in both situations, majority of the respondents feel no discomfort from external noise (example, wind).…”

“…The valid number of respondents was only 30 due to limitations in time and resources. However,the findings still agree with those of previous literatures and could be considered as a good preliminary study [23][24][25][26]. Approximately half of the respondentsexperience discomfort due to exhaust and engine noises as well as vibrations from the foot pedal and gear lever when the motorcycle is in an idle condition.…”

Motorcycle riders are exposed to extreme riding discomfort due to engine inertial imbalances, improper structural motorcycle design, and road excitation. This paper presents a survey on the perception regarding riding discomfort among motorcycle riders in Malaysia. The survey aims to gather information from motorcycle riders regarding the sources and effects of discomfort in the form of vibration and noise exposure. This survey highlights the components and factors that are related to all aspects of discomfort when riding a motorcycle. Thirty respondents with a mean age of 19 years old from two private universities in Selangor participated in this study. All respondents ridevarying types and sizes of motorcyclesas their main transportation to and from their homes and offices. The resultsindicatethat the vibration source on the foot pedal is the main factor that contributes to the highest discomfort level among motorcycle riders in Malaysia. Despite the small current sample, this studyobtained results that agree with those of previous literature.

“…It leads to frequent failure of the foot bracket. Considering the importance of this problem, Agostoni et al [1] tried to alleviate the problem, by modifying the footplate geometry. He also reported that modified footplate geometry minimized the nodal displacement and found that it was effective.…”

A foot bracket is a metal panel bracket used to mount and support the footrest in two-wheeler systems. It holds the footrest in place while rigidly supporting it. In working conditions, this element has often been observed to fail when specific load-fluctuation conditions are established at its rear end. Appropriate materials therefore need to be identified to overcome such a recurring failure. To address these issues, the present study has been implemented with the specific objective to determine the response of selected Al6061-T6 and Al7075-T6 Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites (HMMC). The results, obtained using the ANSYS Software, show that the selected composites can withstand 636,962 N/m² of maximum stress and 8.88 × 10 −6 m of minimum displacement. These results are also compared with relevant mathematical models and it is concluded that the identified material combination provides the required improvement of structural stability that can withstand the load fluctuation on the foot bracket.

“…Vibration can cause muscle fatigue and increase susceptibility to spinal injuries [5]. One method of reducing vibration is described in [6], [7], but nothing can replace a well-designed motorbike structure. Unlike a car, a motorbike steering system does not allow the introduction of the gear ratio found in a car steering gearbox or other assist mechanisms.…”

Riding a motorbike requires much more experience than other types of vehicles. However, not only insufficient skills may contribute to dangerous driving situations, but also vibrations generated in the steering system of a motorbike. This paper presents a method of vibration analysis on the example of a motorbike steering system using a transmittance model and shows how to extract the relevant frequencies for analysis. The effects of selected stiffness and damping parameters are analysed and an assessment is made of how the frequencies for wobble vibration will change over the life of the steering components. The results were presented using Bode diagrams.
