Patent number: 10330043Abstract: In a saddle-ride type vehicle in which a cylinder head of a single-cylinder engine main unit has a front wall and a rear wall, an exhaust system being connected to the front wall and an intake system being connected to the rear wall, a joining surface of the cylinder head to a head cover is formed on a plane crossing a cylinder axis, the plane being inclined downward toward a front. Rotation axes of camshafts are arranged on the plane. An axis of a valve stem of a throttle valve is arranged on the plane. A curve cover curved so as to cover driven sprockets fixed to the camshafts is formed on one side in a vehicle width direction of the head cover. A drum housing box housing a throttle drum fixed to one end of the valve stem is arranged close to the curve cover.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2017Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Nozomi Okada, Yusaburo Tani, Yosuke Hoi, Tatsuhiko Asano, Shuichi Ishida, Isao Azumagakito

Patent number: 8393433Abstract: An exhaust pipe connected to an exhaust port of an engine and an expansion chamber is disposed in the vicinity of the engine. A main tube is provided that extends rearwardly from a head pipe disposed at the front side of a main body. An engine having a cylinder extending upwardly from a crankcase is disposed under the main tube with an exhaust port open at the front side of the cylinder. A first exhaust pipe is provided that is connected to the exhaust port. A down tube is disposed on the center line in the left-right direction of the main body. The exhaust port disposed behind the down tube is deviatingly open at one side from the center line. The first exhaust pipe extends forward from one side of the down tube, and to the other side of the down tube, subsequently turns, and extends again to one side.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2009Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yosuke Inoue, Yoshinobu Tateshima, Tatsuhiko Asano
