Abstract: A power transmission device for transmitting power of an internal combustion engine of a saddle-ride type vehicle such as a motorcycle to an output side by way of a transmission includes a start clutch for connecting power transmitted from the transmission to an output side when the saddle-ride-type vehicle starts and disconnects the power when the saddle-ride-type vehicle stops, wherein the transmission device can reduce a load applied to the internal combustion engine at the time of starting the saddle-ride-type vehicle and can suppress the increase of a lateral width of the internal combustion engine. The power transmission device includes, in addition to a start clutch, a transmission input clutch for disconnecting power transmitted from an internal combustion engine to a transmission when the internal combustion engine starts. The transmission input clutch is arranged on a drive pulley shaft of a continuously variable transmission.

By improving the arrangement of a continuously variable transmission, a balancer shaft and a drive pulley and a driven pulley of the continuously variable transmission, a lateral width and longitudinal length of a power unit are decreased thus making the power unit more compact. A continuously variable transmission is arranged behind a crankshaft, and a balancer is arranged between the continuously variable transmission and the crankshaft in a state wherein the balancer does not overlap the continuously variable transmission. A drive force of the crankshaft is transmitted to a drive pulley shaft of the continuously variable transmission by way of a gear of a balancer shaft. The approximate center of the crankshaft, the balancer and the respective pulleys of the continuously variable transmission are arranged on a vertical plane of a vehicle body center line.

Abstract: In an internal combustion engine provided with a decompression mechanism, a decompression cam that is rotatable with respect to a camshaft between first and second stop positions has a cam profile so that an exhaust valve is opened at the first stop position and is closed at the second stop position. The decompression cam is rotated in the reverse direction to the first stop position by rotating a crankshaft in the reverse direction by an electric motor at startup (position P1). Only the crankshaft is then rotated in the reverse direction (position p3), and the decompression cam is rotated in the normal direction by rotating the crankshaft in the normal direction by the electric motor.
