Abstract: A pulser ring mounting structure includes: a wheel provided with a hub, the hub being journaled to a rear wheel axle; and a pulser ring, the pulser ring being mounted with respect to the wheel, the pulser ring being provided with an annular detected portion detected by a wheel speed sensor. In the pulser ring mounting structure, the pulser ring is provided with a rib, the rib extending to be located close to a receiving portion, the receiving portion being provided with respect to an outer surface of the hub.

Abstract: A handlebar fixing structure enabling a handlebar to be attached to a high position to provide high vibration absorbency. The handlebar fixing structure includes a handlebar, a handlebar post supported above a steering system, and a handlebar clamper for fixing the handlebar to the handlebar post. The handlebar clamper includes a first damper member and a second damper member disposed so as to sandwich a cylindrical portion of the handlebar post and the handlebar from a direction orthogonal to the vehicle widthwise direction. An elastic member is interposed between the first clamper member and the handlebar post and between the second damper member and the handlebar post. The first damper member and the second clamper member are coupled with each other by a bolt and include abutting faces for abutting with each other so as to receive an axial force of the bolt.

Abstract: A link mechanism includes a shock absorber rod pivotally supported in an upwardly and downwardly swingable manner on a body frame. A shock absorber arm is disposed between a pair of left and right rod portions constituting the shock absorber rod. A front end portion of the shock absorber arm is connected to a lower end portion of a shock absorber unit, a rear upper end portion is connected to a swing arm, and a rear lower end portion is connected to a rear end portion of the shock absorber rod. A link guard covers at least an area from a front end portion of the shock absorber rod to the front end portion of the shock absorber arm on the lower side thereof to be fixed to and to spread over the pair of left and right rod portions.

Abstract: A mounting structure of a wheel speed sensor ring includes an intermediate ring made of aluminum which is fastened to a hub of a wheel body together with a brake disc in a state where the intermediate ring is brought into contact with the brake disc, and a pulser ring is supported on the intermediate ring in a floating state. A supported portion of the pulser ring is provided at a center position within the intermediate ring, and the intermediate ring includes a plurality of seat plate portions on an outer periphery thereof which are fastened between hub and the brake disc. The mounting structure has a compact size which permits various thermal effects caused by the generation of heat in a brake disc to be effectively suppressed.

Abstract: A motorcycle is provided with a front fork cover which can suppress traveling resistance as much as possible while increasing a cooling effect of a radiator within a required range. A pair of radiators as viewed in a side view are arranged above a crankcase of an engine. A front fork is arranged over the radiators in the vertical direction as viewed in a side view. Upper surfaces of front fork covers arranged above lower ends of the radiators in the vertical direction extend toward the radiators, and lower surfaces of the front fork covers arranged below the lower ends of the radiators extend toward lateral sides of the crankcase extending to the outside more than the radiators.

Abstract: A saddle-ride vehicle includes a steering shaft, a head pipe, a main frame, a top bridge and a bottom bridge, an upper end bearing and a lower end bearing, a potentiometer, a bracket, and a thread nut. The steering shaft has a shaft axis. The head pipe supports the steering shaft to be rotatable around the shaft axis. The main frame extends from the head pipe toward a rear side of a vehicle body. The top bridge and the bottom bridge are fixed to upper and lower ends of the steering shaft, respectively. The upper end bearing and the lower end bearing are provided inside the head pipe at upper and lower ends of the head pipe, respectively to support the steering shaft rotatably. The potentiometer includes a cable and is configured to output an electric signal in accordance with a pullout amount of the cable.
