Abstract: A frame structure is provided in which a sub-frame is fixed to a rear portion of a vehicle body frame, and serves as a suspension-supporting portion of the vehicle body frame. In the sub-frame, a rear member extends between a sub-frame upper pipe and a sub-frame lower pipe. The rear member includes a rear upper arm supporting portion and a rear lower arm supporting portion, for supporting proximal ends of an upper arm and a lower arm of a rear suspension. The frame structure hereof improves accuracy and rigidity of the suspension-supporting portion of the vehicle body frame, and provides a simplified structure as compared to conventional frame structures.

Abstract: A body frame of a saddle-ride type vehicle for preventing an increase in the number of parts for supporting a radiator and ensuring a required heat dissipating performance of the radiator. A body frame includes a pair of right and left main pipes extending substantially in the back-and-forth direction of a vehicle with a pair of right and left lower pipes disposed under the main pipes and extending substantially in the back-and-forth direction of the vehicle. A pair of right and left down-pipes are disposed vertically in a bridgewise manner between the main pipes and the lower pipes with rear reinforcing pipes extending rearwardly and obliquely downwardly, respectively, from intermediate positions of the down-pipes and connected at lower ends thereof to the lower pipes. First reinforcing members are provided for supporting an upper portion of a radiator. Second reinforcing members are provided for supporting a lower portion of the radiator.

Abstract: An all-terrain vehicle tire (10) operated at 4 psi (0.3 bar) or less inflation pressure has a plurality of lugs (44) arranged in a pitched pattern for noise reduction. The ratio of small (S), medium (M) and large (L) pitches are preferably arranged with a maximum pitch variation between circumferentially adjacent pitches of 1.1 to 1.
