2.1.1                                In the above Table, the following comments apply:

2.1.1.1                          N.A. means no condition applicable

2.1.1.2                          ## Applicable only to motor cycles having a 'Maximum Motor Cycle Speed' equal to or less than 50 km/h and to mopeds.

2.2                                      No parts of a brake system shall be replaced during testing nor shall adjustments be made to a brake system unless otherwise stated.

2.3                                      A vehicle will be deemed to meet the range of performance tests if it meets the requirements of each particular test and completes the range of tests without component failure.  For the purpose of this rule, "component failure" means:

2.3.1                                detachment of brake linings from the shoes or pads;

2.3.2                                detachment or fracture of any components of the brake system; or

2.3.3                                visible evidence of leakage of brake fluid or lubricant at any wheel cylinder, master cylinder reservoir, cover, seal or retention device, or at fluid line junctions.

3.                                          GENERAL TEST CONDITIONS

3.1                                      The vehicle must be operated at the 'Laden Motor Cycle Mass'.

3.2                                      The ambient temperature at the test site must be within the range of 0 to 40° Celsius.

3.3                                      The ignition timing, engine idle speed and adjustable speed governor, if fitted, must be set to the 'Manufacturer's' recommendation.

3.4                                      If provision for manual disengagement is provided, all stops must be made with the engine disengaged from the transmission.

3.5                                      The tyres fitted to the vehicle must be inflated to the pressure recommended by the 'Manufacturer' for the 'Laden Motor Cycle Mass'.

3.6                                      Decelerations must be conducted on a test track or roadway that meets the following requirements:

3.6.1                                in the case of Fade Tests, the surface must be substantially level and any effective upward gradient between the start and end of the test must not exceed one percent; and

3.6.2                                in the case of all other deceleration tests, the
