Abstract: A braking device of a saddle-ride type vehicle that can reduce a load acting on a joint is provided. A joint 200 at a front-wheel brake output side which connects a metal pipe and a flexible brake hose is mounted on a body frame 2 via a mount rubber 260 under a floating state.

Abstract: The motorcycle comprises a chassis frame (5); an engine (20), a hanger portion (21) suspended from the chassis frame (5); a pair of down tubes (9) extending downward in the fore portion of the chassis frame (5); and an engine hanger bracket (100), further comprising plate portions (101) and collar portions (106) disposed upon the plate portions (101), the engine hanger bracket (100) linked to the pair of down tubes (9) and the hanger portion (21). The motorcycle further comprises an upper suspension portion (112), which suspends the engine (20) by fastening the down tubes (9), the plate portions (101), the collar portions (106), and an upper hanger portion (22), in a state of being positioned in a linear state in the vehicle width direction; and a lower suspension portion (124), which suspends the engine (20) by fastening the plate portions (101) and a lower hanger portion (23).

Abstract: A non-uniform load is prevented from acting on a cross member to reduce the weight of the cross member in a saddled vehicle. In the saddled vehicle has a vehicle body frame 11 for suspending an engine 12, a swing arm 14 for suspending a rear wheel WR freely swingably, pivot portions 29 which are formed as a right-and-left pair, constitute a part of the vehicle body frame 11 and pivotably support the swing arm 14, a lower cross member 28 for joining the pivot portions 29, a rear cushion 32 for applying elastic force to the swing arm 14, a link mechanism 31 for joining the lower end 32A of the rear cushion 32, the swing arm 14 and the pivot portions 29, a link joint stay 70 which is formed at the rear side of the lower cross member 28 and joins the link mechanism 31, and a lower hunger 48 that is formed at the front side of the lower cross member 28 and fixes the engine 12, the link joint stay 70 and the lower hunger 48 are formed at the same position with respect to the vehicle width direction.

Abstract: A saddle-ride type vehicle with a swing arm swingably supported on a body frame. A shock absorber is connected to the body frame and the swing arm for applying a damping force. A shock absorber support member is suspended to the body frame in a vehicle width direction for supporting an upper end of the shock absorber. The shock absorber is supported on a central portion in the vehicle width direction of the shock absorber support member. The central portion in the vehicle width direction of the shock absorber support member is formed in a U-shape that is open at a lower side in a cross section taken along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. An upper surface and a lower surface of the shock absorber support member are curved wherein a central portion lies above the end portion in the vehicle width direction.

Abstract: To enhance a degree of freedom in the shape and the design of a swing arm without being influenced by the variation of a part for supporting an exhaust muffler on the side of the swing arm and a part for coupling a rear cushion unit to the side of the swing arm in a compact vehicle, a cushion bracket coupled to a lower end of the rear cushion unit and a muffler bracket that supports the exhaust muffler are provided as separate elements from the swing arm and are attached to the swing arm.

Abstract: An engine suspension device for a motorcycle can be increased in design flexibility and weight. An engine suspension device for a motorcycle has a suspension link provided between a body frame and an engine for pivotably supporting the engine. The suspension link includes a link body. Two pairs of right and left cylindrical members are provided at opposite ends of the link body and are connected to the body frame and the engine, respectively. The pairs of right and left cylindrical members are spaced apart from each other in the lateral direction of the motorcycle. The suspension link further includes a right connecting member for connecting the right cylindrical members and a left connecting member for connecting the left connecting members. The right and left connecting members are connected to each other by the link body.
