Abstract: A transmission for a motorcycle includes a housing; at least one shaft at least partially accommodated in the housing, a locking device which has at least one first locking element which can be rotated with the shaft and at least one second locking element which can be moved relative to the housing, relative to the shaft, and relative to the first locking element. The second locking element can move between at least one release position in which the locking elements do not engage in one another and the shaft is released for rotation, and at least one locking position in which the locking elements engage in one another to secure the shaft against rotation relative to the housing. The transmission further includes an actuating device configured to move the second locking element out of the release position into the locking position via at least one intermediate position.

Abstract: An emergency braking system of a single-track vehicle configured to intervene in a braking process of the single-track vehicle includes a plurality of sensors that determine various physical variables. From the physical variables an accident risk actual value is determined, compared with an accident risk target value using an emergency braking system control unit, and if the accident risk actual value exceeds the accident risk target value, the single-track vehicle's brake is actuated by the emergency braking system control unit.

Abstract: A method for operating a rotating-mass device and a rotating mass device of a two-wheeled vehicle are provided. The rotating-mass device includes first and second gyroscopic instruments, each with a cardanically mounted rotating-mass device suitable for generating torque about their respective rotation axes. Pivoting of the rotating-mass devices is coordinated to influence motion of the two-wheeled vehicle about three orthogonal vehicle axes.

Abstract: A motor vehicle, in particular a motorcycle or a motorcycle-like vehicle, includes a wheel suspension supporting the vehicle frame with a spring assembly. The wheel suspension is designed to compress in a compression direction and to rebound in an opposite rebound direction. The wheel suspension includes a lowering device which can be selectively actuated by a pressure fluid in an active state to apply a preload to the wheel suspension to alter a ride height of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A method is provided for assisting a driver of a single-track motor vehicle during a drive in order to drive through a bend safely. In the method, at least one current driving state variable and driver-specific driving dynamics variables are compared with an approaching driving situation and, if a danger threshold value is reached or exceeded, a warning signal is output. The current speed of the motor vehicle is sensed by a speed sensor and transmitted to a computer—and memory unit as the current driving state variable. Both previously reached inclined positions of the single-track motor vehicle and previously reached brake pressures and/or brake pressure gradients are stored by the computer-and-memory unit as the driver-specific driving dynamics variables. In order to evaluate the approaching driving situation, a bend radius of a curve to be driven through next is determined via a navigation unit and is transmitted to the computer—and memory unit.

Abstract: A sensor ring is provided for a magnetic measuring transducer of an ABS system consisting of at least two annularly arranged functional elements. The first functional element is formed as a ferromagnetic annular disc element with a flat upper side and a flat underside with a multiplicity of openings. The second functional element, as a non-ferromagnetic element, has either been applied on the upper side and/or the underside of the annular disc element and/or has been introduced into the openings, as an annular disc element. The sensor ring is protected from contamination or damage by the non-ferromagnetic covering. The covering may also be produced by encapsulation or filling, wherein the openings in the sensor ring can be filled with plastic and also the side faces can be coated with plastic.
