  • Patent number: 8002066
    Abstract: A motorcycle includes a seat configured to support a rider, and an antilock braking modulator disposed downwardly of the seat. The antilock braking modulator is configured to control an antilock braking system (ABS). A first control valve is configured to distribute a braking force between a front wheel and a rear wheel. A second control valve is configured to introduce fuel vapors into an intake system. A first bracket is fixed on a vehicle body frame, and is mounted with the second control valve. A second bracket is supported on a side of the vehicle body frame and further supported by the first bracket and mounted with the antilock braking modulator and the first control valve.

  • Patent number: 7759595
    Abstract: A gas insulating switchgear equipped with a grounding switchgear of the invention includes a sealing vessel that fills an insulation gas, a main circuit-switching fixed electrode that is fixed to the sealing vessel, a movable electrode that comes in contact with the main circuit-switching fixed electrode, a grounding-switching fixed electrode capable of conducting current, and a driving device that drives the movable electrode, thereby driving the movable electrode. The main circuit-switching fixed electrode and the grounding-switching fixed electrode are linearly arranged in a longitudinal direction of the movable electrode, and the driving device drives linearly the movable electrode to three positions of a closed-circuit position, an open-circuit position, and a grounding position, and holds the movable electrode.

  • Patent number: 7617901
    Abstract: A fuel pump mounting arrangement for a motorcycle is provided in which the fuel pump is mounted to the vehicle body frame and in which the fuel pump is protected from impact without increasing the weight of a pivot plate. In the motorcycle, a main frame extends rearwardly from a head pipe, rear frames extend rearwardly from the main frame, and a central frame structure extends downwardly from the rear frames to form a space within the central frame structure. A pivot plate is mounted on a lower portion of the central frame structure, and a rear swing arm is supported on the pivot plate. In such a constitution, a fuel pump is arranged in the space which is formed by the central frame structure.
