Motorcycle Tire Vector Specification Example for Municipal Fleets: Two-Piece Construction
Motorcycle Tire Vector Specification Example for Municipal Fleets: Two-Piece Construction
This is a worked specification for motorcycle tire vector in a two-piece construction programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The two-piece construction version exists because the duty cycle on municipal fleets is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually reorders that did not match the approved sample.

- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.

Processes involved
- heat treatment
- injection moulding
- electroplating
- die casting
- cold forging
- sintering
Where this example applies
Programmes that run two-piece construction most often specify this build for municipal fleets. Related applications include racing teams, city buses, camper conversions, light trucks, off-road bikes.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 1000 pieces per line.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the ISO/TS 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 1000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
