  • Patent number: 8393428
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a front seat and a rear seat that is changeable between an installed state in which the passenger can be seated and a retracted state in which the passenger is not seated and the rear seat is retracted. The vehicle includes an output control unit controlling the output of an engine, and a detection device for detecting the installed state of the rear seat. When the detection device detects the installed state of the rear seat, the output control unit regulates the output of the engine as compared with the output when the detection device does not detect the installed state of the rear seat.

  • Patent number: 7290388
    Abstract: A motorcycle exhaust system includes a catalytic converter (43) disposed within an exhaust passage (37) for discharging exhaust gas (G) from a multi-cylinder combustion engine (E) and operable to purify the exhaust gas (G). An upstream end of the catalytic converter (43) has different regions (S1 and S2) communicated with upstream exhaust passage portions (37a and 37a), respectively, and a downstream end of the catalytic converter (43) is communicated with downstream exhaust passage portions (37b and 37b) in a number equal to or smaller than the number of the upstream exhaust passage portions (37a and 37a). Also, the catalytic converter (43) has a partition wall (43c) extending in a direction of flow of the exhaust gas (G) for allowing the exhaust gas (G) from the upstream exhaust passage portions (37a and 37a) to flow through the catalytic converter (43) without being mixed together.
