Patent number: 10167043Abstract: A vehicle includes a right front wheel, a left front wheel, a brake operator, grips, and a steering force transmission which transmits a steering force to the right front wheel and the left front wheel. The steering force transmission includes a steering shaft, a handlebar, and a tie rod. Brake operators, which operate the brakes, and the grips are located on the handlebar, and a rubber damper located on the steering force transmission significantly reduces or prevents vibrations from being transmitted to the grips, wherein the vibrations are due to a difference between a frictional force generated between the right front wheel and a corresponding road surface and a frictional force generated between the left front wheel and a corresponding road surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2017Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: YAMAHA HATSUDOKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takaaki Monna, Yosuke Hirayama
