Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 6460-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 22,
Motorcycles.
ISO 6460-3, together with ISO 6460-1 and ISO 6460-2, cancels and replaces ISO 6460:1981 and
ISO 7860:1995, which have been technically revised.
ISO 6460 consists of the following parts, under the general title Motorcycles — Measurement method for
gaseous exhaust emissions and fuel consumption:
⎯ Part 1: General test requirements
⎯ Part 2: Test cycles and specific test conditions
⎯ Part 3: Fuel consumption measurement at a constant speed

5 General requirements
5.1 Measurement of fuel consumption of a motorcycle based on the constant speed method shall be
performed on a road or on a chassis dynamometer.
5.2 Fuel shall be supplied to the engine by a device capable of measuring the quantity of fuel supplied with
an accuracy of ± 1 %, and which does not interfere with the supply of fuel to the engine. Where the measuring
system is volumetric, the temperature of fuel in the device or in the outlet of the device shall be measured.
5.3 Switching from the normal supply system to the measuring supply system shall be effected by a valve
system and shall take no more than 0,2 s.
5.4 ISO 6460-1:2007, Annex A, gives the description and the methods of use of the appropriate devices.
The carbon balance method can also be applied for the measurement of fuel consumption on the chassis
dynamometer.
5.5 Before the test, all parts of the motorcycle shall be stabilized at the normal temperature for the
motorcycle in use.

5.6 The total test mass, including the masses of the rider and the instruments, shall be measured before
the beginning of the test.
5.7 The test shall be performed at a constant speed in the highest gear. A lower gear may be selected in
case the test motorcycle cannot be run stably: the gear used shall be reported in test results.
6 Road measurement method
6.1 Rider and riding position
6.1.1 The rider shall wear a close-fitting suit (one-piece) or similar clothing, a protective helmet, eye
protection, boots and gloves.
6.1.2 The rider in the conditions given in 6.1.1 shall have a mass of 75 kg ± 5 kg and be 1,75 m ± 0,05 m
tall.
6.1.3 The rider shall be seated on the seat provided, with his/her feet on the footrests and his/her arms
normally extended. This position shall allow the rider at all times to have proper control of the motorcycle
during the test.
The position of the rider should remain unchanged during the whole measurement: the description of the
position shall be indicated in the test report or shall be replaced by photograph(s).
6.2 Test track
6.2.1 The total length of test track shall be the sum of the following sections:
a) the acceleration section to reach the stabilized target test speed;
b) the test section to measure the fuel consumption;
c) the deceleration section to stop the test motorcycle safely.
6.2.2 The test section shall be either long enough to consume the fuel of at least 10 mL or be longer than
300 m. The length of the test section shall be measured within the tolerance of 0,1 %.
6.2.3 The test road shall be flat, level, straight and smoothly paved. The road surface shall be dry and
covered with asphalt, concrete or similar material, and free of obstacles or wind barriers that might impede the
measurement of the fuel consumption. The slope of the surface shall not exceed 0,5 % between any two
points at least 2 m apart.
6.3 Ambient conditions for the road test
During data collecting periods, the wind shall be steady. The wind speed and the direction of the wind shall be
measured continuously or with adequate frequency at a location where the wind force during fuel consumption
masurement is representative.
The ambient conditions shall be within the following limits:
a) maximum wind speed: 3 m/s;
b) maximum wind speed for gust: 5 m/s;
c) average wind speed, parallel: 3 m/s;
d) average wind speed, perpendicular: 2 m/s;
e) maximum relative humidity: 95 %;
