Abstract [eng] In this thesis, it can be seen in detail about the parameters affecting the stability of motorcycles and how they are going to be solved using the interconnection of the suspension systems. By doing this interconnection, establish the mathematical model for new design in interconnected suspension. As this primarily uses swing-arm, a new unconventional steering mechanism is also designed Even in today’s most technically advanced motorcycle’s suspensions are not able to provide the correct amount of weight transfer, according to the conditions of the speed at which the rider is trying to accelerate or brake. The most important thing is the constant amount of weight transfer at all conditions will put the motorcycle stability on a question mark. So here a new attempt is made to reduce the necessary weight transfer and the control of weight transfer through interconnections suspensions. All the motorcycles today have independent working of front and rear suspensions, but in this thesis they are coordinated towards each other for more efficient working and precision. .
