Patent number: 7578213Abstract: An engine includes an engine case split into an upper case and a lower case. A crankshaft and a transmission input shaft are rotatably supported at a mating surface between the upper and lower cases, and a transmission output shaft rotated by the transmission input shaft is supported in the lower case. One side face of the lower case has a circular opening through which the transmission output shaft can be inserted from the outside. An eccentric bearing holder holding a bearing that rotatably supports one end of the transmission output shaft is mounted in the opening in a detachable manner from the outside. The axis of the transmission output shaft deviates from the center of the eccentric bearing holder toward the transmission input shaft. The inner diameter of the opening is larger than the outer diameter of the largest one of transmission driven gears of the transmission output shaft.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2006Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: Suzuki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hidetoshi Arakawa, Kohei Kato, Tomoyuki Oda
