Patent ID: 7134326

Claim:
An apparatus for inspecting a motorcycle for a braking force, a speedometer, and a brake system thereof, comprising: rotatable first and second front wheel support rollers having respective axes lying parallel to each other, for supporting a front wheel of the motorcycle; rotatable first and second rear wheel support rollers having respective axes lying parallel to each other, for supporting a rear wheel of the motorcycle; coupling means for coupling the first front wheel support roller and the first rear wheel support roller to each other for synchronous rotation thereof; rotational speed measuring means coupled to ends of respective rotational shafts of the second front wheel support roller and the second rear wheel support roller, for measuring respective rotational speeds of said second front wheel support roller and said second rear wheel, support roller; a pair of drive means separably connected by clutches to the respective other ends of the rotational shafts of the second front wheel support roller and the second rear wheel support roller, for rotating said second front wheel support roller and said second rear wheel support roller, respectively, with the drive means being connected thereto by said clutches; torque measuring means disposed between said drive means and said clutches, for measuring torques applied respectively to the rotational shafts of the second front wheel support roller and the second rear wheel support roller; braking force inspecting means for calculating a braking force based on the torques measured by said torque measuring means and determining whether the calculated braking force is acceptable or not, when said second front wheel support roller and said second rear wheel support roller are rotated by said drive means with a driving mechanism on the motorcycle being in a neutral gear position and the motorcycle being braked; speedometer inspecting means for calculating a vehicle speed of the motorcycle based on the rotational speed measured by one of said rotational speed measuring means and determining whether the speedometer on the motorcycle is acceptable or not, when said drive means are disconnected by the clutches from said second front wheel support roller and said second rear wheel support roller and a drive wheel of the motorcycle is driven by the driving mechanism on the motorcycle; and brake system inspecting means for determining whether an antilock brake system and a front/rear wheel combined brake system of the motorcycle operate acceptably or not based on the rotational speeds measured by said rotational speed measuring means, when said drive means are disconnected by the clutches from said second front wheel support roller and said second rear wheel support roller and the antilock brake system and the front/rear wheel combined brake system are operated while the drive wheel of the motorcycle is being driven.
