Abstract: An all terrain vehicle has an adjustable suspension system. The adjustable suspension system features a first spring and a second spring. An intermediate member is positioned between the two springs and may travel in an axial direction along with at least a portion of one of the springs. A travel limiting member, movable by a cam and follower system, is positioned relative to the intermediate member such that the travel limiting surface may stop the movement of the intermediate member thereby disabling at least one of the first and second springs. The cam and follower mechanism is operated via a shifting lever positioned within a recess proximate a seat of the all terrain vehicle and in a location protected from the undercarriage of the all terrain vehicle.

Abstract: A selective calling receiver detects a message and information identifying the sender, from the radio signal when the judgement circuit judges the received selective calling number is the same as the receiver's own selective calling number. After detecting, a display indicates the detected message and sender's information, and a call notification circuit notifies a user of calling. The receiver may indicate the name assigned to the received sender's telephone number as the sender's information. The receiver may perform emergency call notification when the received message is an emergency message indicated by an emergency code number. Further, the receiver may be modified such that the notification circuit performs different types of call notification indicated by the notification indicator assigned to the sender's telephone number.

Abstract: A radio selection call receiver with message display includes a control circuit 40 for controlling the display of messages and a secret mode. The receiver determines whether or not secret setting information is included in a received message and whether or not a user has input or transmitted secret cancellation information. The receiver detects all or part of predetermined first information from received messages, and displays at least one second information set beforehand by a user corresponding to the first information. Display is thereby limited to the second information, which a third person cannot identify. This allows the authorized user to identify callers without inputting or transmitting a secret cancellation code.

Abstract: In a radio selective calling receiver, a controller automatically writes time information and message information included in a received paging signal in a storage thereof if a particular code is included in the paging signal. If the particular code is absent from the paging signal, the controller urges the user of the receiver to decide whether or not the time information and message information should be written to the storage and should be reported on the date and hour designated by the time information.

Abstract: A generally open, welded-up type of motorcycle frame wherein the pivot axis for the rear wheel suspension system is disposed forwardly of the rear end of the frame so as to provide a large degree of suspension travel with small angular movements and without necessitating a large wheel base. The construction also minimizes torsional bending and sheering forces on the frame members that support the rear wheel.
