  • Engine oil pump cover with seal
    Patent number: 11015494
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine assembly includes a crankcase and a cam housing. The crankcase includes a crankcase cavity configured to receive a counterweight. The cam housing includes a cam housing cavity configured to receive a camshaft. A pump is positioned within the cam housing. The pump is configured to draw oil from an oil reservoir defined by the cam housing cavity. A crankshaft supports the counterweight for rotation therewith. The crankshaft is rotatably supported within the cam housing and is coupled to drive the pump. A bearing supports the crankshaft between the crankcase cavity and the cam housing cavity. The bearing includes an outer race. A seal is positioned between the pump and the bearing. The seal is positioned against the outer race to block the transmission of pressure fluctuations between the crankcase cavity and the oil reservoir.

  • MOTORCYCLE DYNAMIC EXHAUST SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20070256673
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of operating a dynamic exhaust system of a motorcycle engine. The method includes providing a valve in the exhaust system that is movable to direct exhaust gases between a first flow path through the exhaust system and a second flow path through the exhaust system. The method includes actuating the valve at a first speed to redirect exhaust gases from the first flow path to the second flow path and actuating the valve at a second speed greater than the first speed to redirect exhaust gases from the second flow path to the first flow path.
