Abstract: With a resistor, a variable resistor, and a method for manufacturing a resistor according to the present invention, it is possible to eliminate lead and prevent deterioration of sliding characteristics. A resistor according to the present invention is disposed on an insulating layer. The resistor has: a more-conductive-material-containing layer containing more conductive materials than insulating materials; and a more-insulating-material-containing layer that does not contain lead and that contains more insulating materials than conductive materials. The more-conductive-material-containing layer has a polished surface. For example, the film thickness of the more-conductive-material-containing layer in a low-resistance region having a resistance value smaller than or equal to a prescribed value is larger than the film thickness of the more-insulating-material-containing layer in a high-resistance region having a resistance value larger than the prescribed value.

Abstract: A straddled vehicle, including left and right seat frames respectively located leftward and rightward of a vehicle center plane with respect to a rear-to-front direction, a cross member configured to connect the left and right seat frames, a seat located above the left and right seat frames and the cross member, a rear fender, and a position regulator joining the seat with the rear fender to regulate upward movement of the seat. The seat includes a first load transmitting portion and a first horizontal position determining portion. The cross member includes a load receiver configured to receive a load of the seat, and a second horizontal position determining portion configured to restrict movement of the seat in a substantially horizontal direction. The position regulator includes an elastic member supported by the seat, a coupling portion supported by the elastic member, and a fastening portion configured to fasten the coupling portion to the rear fender.

Abstract: A straddled vehicle, including a cross member connecting right and left seat frames, a seat above the cross member and right and left seat frames, left and right side covers, a rear fender, an intake passage formed below the seat, between the left and right side covers and above the rear fender, an air cleaner located in a front part of the intake passage, left and right inlet ports located in a rear part of the intake passage, first and second fastening portions respectively fastening the right and left side cover to the right and left seat frames or to the rear fender. In a rear view of the vehicle, the cross member is convex upward and does not overlap the right or left inlet port, and the first and second fastening portions are located outside the intake passage, or are located inside the intake passage but does not overlap the right or left inlet port.

Abstract: A straddled vehicle including: a vehicle body frame having a head pipe and a down frame extending downward and rearward from the head pipe; a steering shaft rotatably inserted in the head pipe; a front fork linked to the steering shaft, the front fork including an outer tube and an inner tube that is slidably inserted in the outer tube; a bottom bridge linking the front fork and a portion of the steering shaft that is downward relative to the head pipe; a radiator arranged rearward of the front fork, the radiator overlapping the outer tube in a front view; a front wheel supported by the front fork; a front fender arranged upward of the front wheel; and a rectifier member attached to a portion of the outer tube that is upward of the front wheel and downward of the bottom bridge, the rectifier member extending rearward.
