  • Patent number: 11485446
    Abstract: A single-sided swing arm for a motorcycle having a traction means for driving a rear wheel of the motorcycle, the swing arm having a first section for rotatably supporting the rear wheel and second sections for pivotally attaching the swing arm to a structural member of the motorcycle. Geometrical centers of the first section and of the second sections define a virtual swing arm center plane, and a rocker arm with an upper side is between the first and the second sections. The rocker arm has a first side wall region and a second side wall region substantially opposite thereto, and the second side wall region extends into the region of a second section; the two side wall regions are connected to one another by a stiffening girder designed for the passage of the traction means. The stiffening girder extends into a region below the swing arm center plane.

  • Patent number: 11035432
    Abstract: A vibration damper for use particularly on wheeled vehicles. The damper has a cylinder formed to receive damping fluid and a working piston axially moveable therein, which piston is arranged on a piston rod formed with an axial passage and which divides the inner space of the cylinder into first and second working spaces. The vibration damper has a fluid communication axial passage for a fluid flow from the second working space to the first working space, and has a first adjustment device for adjusting the pressure stage damping and a second adjustment device for adjusting the traction stage damping. The first adjustment device has adjustable valve devices to change throughflow openings for the pressure stage, and the second adjustment device has a setting rod arranged in the axial passage of the piston rod for changing a first throughflow opening of a third valve device for the traction stage.

  • Patent number: 11015703
    Abstract: An apparatus and system for actuating a manual gearbox, particularly of a motorcycle having a drive engine, and for carrying out a gear change while the clutch is engaged between the drive engine and the manual gearbox. The apparatus has a selector shaft, which can be actuated rotationally, and a gear-selector drum, which can be actuated rotationally. The gear-changing apparatus has a gear-change lever provided for actuating the selector shaft, and is adapted for influencing the output torque of the drive engine. One or more magnetic sensor(s), such as Hall effect sensors, are provided for sensing rotational actuation of the selector shaft and, optionally, for sensing rotational actuation of the gear selector drum. The sensor(s) send a signal to a controller and mechanisms known for affecting a change in gear to a lower or higher gear.
