  • Publication number: 20240400014
    Abstract: Provided is a control device for motorcycle capable of carrying out assist control appropriate for a motorcycle during a turn travel. This control device for motor cycle comprises: a lean angle detection unit which detects the lean angle of a motorcycle; a throttle grip opening degree detection unit; a throttle valve control unit which controls a throttle valve; a brake control unit which controls a font wheel brake and a rear wheel brake; and a control unit which controls the throttle valve control unit and the brake control unit, wherein the control unit controls the throttle valve, the front wheel brake, and the rear wheel brake during a turn travel of the motorcycle. The control unit applies the rear wheel brake harder than the front wheel brake during the turn travel of the motorcycle.

  • Publication number: 20240253606
    Abstract: Provided is a saddled vehicle capable of optimizing distribution of a braking force between front and rear wheels at the time of deceleration during linear traveling, before entering a corner, and in a similar situation. A saddled vehicle (1) includes: a front wheel braking component (32) that applies a braking force to a front wheel (WF); and a rear wheel braking component (34) that applies a braking force to a rear wheel (WR), and is configured to operate the front wheel braking component (32) and the rear wheel braking component (34) in an interlocking manner in response to an operation of an operating element (5) as a single operating element. In response to the operation of the operating element (5), the front wheel braking component (32) first starts operating, and thereafter, in response to a braking condition of the front wheel braking component (32) satisfying a first condition, the rear wheel braking component (34) starts operating.

  • Patent number: 9004568
    Abstract: In a cowling fastening structure (1) for fastening a first cowling member (2) and a second cowling member (3) to each other by using a clip (30), the two cowling members are provided with opposing walls (13, 21) having a mutually aligned through holes (15, 26) formed therein, the clip is provided with a first member (31) and a second member (32) joined by a hinge (33). A free end of the first member formed with an engagement hole (39) is passed through the through holes, and a free end of the second member formed with an engagement claw (44) is passed around the opposing walls so as to engage the engagement claw with the engagement hole.

  • Patent number: 8937117
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for preparing an emulsion resin composition for a cationic electrodeposition paint, which reduces or eliminates time for desolvation. The emulsion resin composition for cationic electrodeposition paint includes a cationic epoxy resin and a blocked isocyanate curing agent. The method features the steps of: (1) a step of mixing water and the cationic resin to form a W/O emulsion, (2) a step of mixing the blocked isocyanate curing agent and the W/O emulsion to form a curing agent-containing W/O emulsion, and (3) a step of mixing water and the curing agent-containing W/O emulsion to form an O/W emulsion, via a phase inversion point from W/O emulsion to O/W emulsion. The method features a solid concentration by mass Xw/o (%) of the curing agent-containing W/O emulsion and a solid content by mass Xtra (%) at the phase inversion point from W/O emulsion to O/W emulsion satisfying a relation of Xw/o?Xtra>3%.
