  • Publication number: 20040035629
    Abstract: An ATV is provided including a frame structure and a power unit coupled to the frame structure and including a rotatable output shaft extending therefrom. A brake system is coupled to the output shaft and includes a friction member fixedly coupled to the output shaft. A brake pad member is movable relative to the friction member. A lever arm member is pivotably mounted to the power unit between proximal and distal end portions of the lever arm member, the proximal end portion being in engagement with the brake pad member to effect movement thereof. A brake actuating structure is configured to be manually movable and has a wedge member thereon. The wedge member is in engagement with the distal end portion of the lever arm member to effect pivotal movement thereof upon manual displacement of the brake actuating structure.

  • Publication number: 20040021286
    Abstract: A suspension arm includes a pair of arm members having ends thereof configured to pivotably couple with a frame to allow for relative pivotal movement between the arm members and the frame. A pivot tube is connected directly to opposite ends of the arm members. The pivot tube defines a pivot axis. Attachment structure is connected directly to each of the pair of arm members and the pivot tube and is configured to pivotably connect with a suspension support structure extending from the frame. The attachment structure is configured such that the pivot tube axis and a suspension support axis defined by the suspension support structure intersect with one another proximate a lower portion of the pivot tube. The present invention additionally provides a straddle-type all-terrain vehicle having such a suspension arm.
