Description / Abstract:
This SAE Recommended Practice establishes test procedures, test
conditions, environment, and instrumentation for determining the
exhaust sound pressure levels of stationary motorcycles. These are
based on a comprehensive study of a wide variety of on-highway
motorcycles, and therefore are intended to be applied to on-highway
motorcycles. For off-highway motorcycles, SAE J1287 continues to be
the recommended practice.
Purpose
This document is intended to provide a basis for roadside
monitoring or screening of stationary on-highway motorcycle exhaust
sound pressure levels where use of a more comprehensive procedure
for measuring total motorcycle sound during operation, such as SAE
J331 or SAE J47, is not practical.
