Studio e ottimizzazione di un sistema automatico per il cambiamento del setup in un motoveicolo sportivo

In the racing field the possibility to change the suspension settings can improve the overall performance of motorcycles, adapting to any type of circuit, any driving style and any weather condition, increasing the feeling of the rider with the vehicle. The present study investigated the pressure and forces related to changes in the oil level inside of the front fork. Seeing the importance of the change of the oil level have been developed an automated device, to be installed in the forks of original sports motorcycles, with the function to vary the level of oil in an automatic way. This system, having the possibility to continuously change the partial setup, could allow the optimization of the forks in each sector of the track, through a unit that automates the change. The project of the system has been presented to teams and riders of national championships and they showed interest on it.
