Abstract:
Object To provide a direction indicator and a saddle riding type vehicle including the same, the direction indicator being capable of preventing stress from being concentrated on a portion on a vehicle body at which the direction indicator is fixed even when impact acts thereon from a road surface when, for example, the vehicle tips over. Solving Means A direction indicator includes a direction indicator main unit (31); a grommet (32) for elastically supporting the direction indicator main unit (31) to a front cowl (24) on a vehicle body side; a retainer (33) for removably fixing the front cowl (24) on the vehicle body side and the direction indicator main unit (31) via the grommet (32); and a shouldered bolt (34) for fastening the retainer (33) and the direction indicator main unit (31). In this direction indicator, a fastening portion of the direction indicator main unit (31) to which the retainer (33) is fastened with the shouldered bolt (34) has a groove.
Abstract:
It is aimed at increasing a feeling of directness at the time of start and at the time of acceleration and inhibiting engine vibrations and vibrations from the road surface from being transmitted to a rider. A motorcycle comprises a vehicle body having a body frame, an engine unit having a balancer mechanism, which suppresses engine vibrations caused by a primary inertial force, and supported directly on the body frame to be able to swing vertically, and a damping mechanism arranged on a distal portion of a vibration transmission path in the vicinity of a region, in which a rider's body and the vehicle body contact.

Abstract:
Elément support rigide (S) de roue de bicyclette, à une extrémité duquel peut être monté un axe de roue, comportant un amortisseur de vibrations (A). L'amortisseur de vibrations (A) comprend une tige rigide (6) s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement à l'élément support (S) entre deux zones (Z1, Z2) de cet élément dont la distance peut varier lors d'une flexion de l'élément, chaque extrémité de la tige (6) étant liée à l'une desdites zones (Z1, Z2), la liaison d'au moins une extrémité de la tige avec l'élément support comprenant un élément (E1,E2) en matière viscoélastique propre à travailler entre une butée (B1,B2), solidaire de l'élément support (S), et la tige (6).
Abstract:
A swing arm extends rearwardly from an engine, and a pair of side cases is arranged leftwardly and rightwardly of the swing arm. The swing arm is supported at a body frame by a single rear shock absorber. The engine is supported at the body frame by a plurality of vibration absorbing support members. Each vibration absorbing support member has a structure in which a rubber member is arranged between an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder. The engine is attached to the inner cylinder with use of an engine support shaft, and the body frame is attached to the outer cylinder with use of an engine bracket. The rubber member has projections being in contact with an inner surface of the outer cylinder and recesses not being in contact with the inner surface of the outer cylinder. The swing arm is rigidly and pivotally connected to the engine.
Abstract:
In a rocking vehicle, a front wheel suspension device suspends a front wheel in an upwardly displaceable manner due to a reaction force from a road surface. The rocking vehicle includes a cushion support arm, on a body frame side, including a cushion support portion of the front wheel suspension device, and a rigidity adjustment device which is extended between plural portions of the cushion support arm. The rigidity adjustment device applies a pre-tension to the cushion support arm, and the pre-tension generates a pre-force component in the cushion support portion in the same direction as the upward moving direction of the front wheel due to a reaction force of the front wheel from the road surface.
Abstract:
A main frame includes a pair of left and right first frame pieces which extends rearwardly from above an engine, a pair of left and right second frame pieces each extending from a front portion in a direction slantwise downwardly and rearwardly of the associated first frame piece, and a pair of left and right third frame pieces each extending rearwardly from a lower end of the associated second frame piece through laterally of a cylinder block. The first mount section for supporting the front portion of the engine is constituted by a rubber mount in which a pair of left and right support portions, provided at respective joints between the second frame pieces and the third frame pieces, and a pair of first to-be-supported portions are connected together. The support portions are connected together through a connecting member that extends in a leftward and rightward direction.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to an inertial sensor attachment structure including: a floating bracket which is fixed to a vehicle body frame via a vibration absorbing member; an inertial sensor attached to a first attachment surface of the floating bracket; and an ABS unit attached to a second attachment surface of the floating bracket.
