Abstract: A first transmission device transmits a signal to a third transmission device by using an active line and a spare line. The first transmission device includes a CRC generator and an SN adder. The CRC generator calculates the CRC value of the signal. The SN adder stores, in a FCS byte filed in the signal, the FCS calculated value obtained by adding the SN representing consecutiveness of the signal to the CRC value. Furthermore, the first transmission device outputs the signal in which the FCS calculated value is stored to the second transmission device by using the active line and the spare line.

Abstract: An apparatus for switching multiple communication channels having a redundant configuration, includes a fault determining section configured to determine an occurrence of a fault of data received from a transmitting apparatus via one of the multiple communication channels having the redundant configuration, the data being set with one of multiple classes; a class control section configured to switch the data in one of the multiple classes being determined as having the fault, to one of the multiple communication channels having the redundant configuration being unused for transmission of the data in the class; a switching control section configured to generate switching information including information about the class determined to have the fault and a destination communication channel for the data in the class to be switched to; and a transmission section configured to transmit the switching information to the transmitting apparatus.

Abstract: The front body cover includes a lens for a headlight device. A front portion or edge of the lens bulges forward of a straight line connecting the front edges of a handle cover with the front edges of a front fender. This arrangement reduces the wind resistance around the front of the motorcycle and improves aerodynamic performance.

Abstract: A position guide is disposed adjacent a main reflector (head reflector) and formed such that a position width dimension w1 of the position guide is less than a main width dimension of the main reflector. A position bulb is disposed in the position guide. In another embodiment, the position guide is generally tubular and has a front opening disposed generally forwardly of the main reflector.

Abstract: A motorcycle having a storage compartment structure having an improved outward appearance by avoiding exposure of one or more fasteners utilized in connection with the storage compartment structure to a driver's side of the motorcycle. A storage compartment comprises a leg shield and plates separate from the leg shield. The plates are detachably mounted to the leg shield by one or more clamping members or fasteners, such as screws, which are inserted into the leg shield in a direction from the front of the motorcycle toward the rear of the motorcycle.

Abstract: A meter of the type having crossed coils, comprises an outer body having a cylindrical wall surrounding the coils, and an insert of an amorphous metal alloy that is disposed in a cylindrical bore defined by the wall. The insert surrounds the coils and is formed by rolling a strip of plate made of amorphous metal alloy. This construction provides an effective magnetic shield.
