A balanced motorcycle powertrain is described. Embodiments of the balanced motorcycle powertrain include components mounted to a frame of a motorcycle such that the powertrain can be evenly balanced about a centerline of the frame. The balanced motorcycle powertrain can include, but is not limited to, a motor, a transmission, a pair of clutches, a clutch shaft, a crank shaft, a pair of superchargers, a pair of chains, a pair of rear sprockets, and a rear wheel. Each of the components can be oriented such that the powertrain is substantially balanced about the centerline of the frame.

Controller, control method, and brake system
11508242 · 2022-11-22 · ·

A controller and a control method are capable of improving safety by automatic emergency deceleration action while suppressing a motorcycle from falling over. One arrangement also obtains a brake system that includes such a controller. In the controller, the control method, and the brake system, a control mode that causes the motorcycle to take the automatic emergency deceleration action is initiated in response to trigger information generated in accordance with peripheral environment of the motorcycle. In the control mode, automatic emergency deceleration that is deceleration of the motorcycle generated by the automatic emergency deceleration action is controlled in accordance with a lean angle of the motorcycle.

Saddle-riding vehicle

A saddle-riding vehicle includes a radiator in front of an engine of the saddle-riding vehicle and on one lateral side of the vehicle in a vehicle widthwise direction with respect to a center line in the vehicle widthwise direction. The radiator includes: a radiator body that allows coolant of the engine to flow through the radiator body; a radiator fan at a rear face of the radiator body; and a fan cover that covers the radiator fan from a rear of the radiator fan to guide exhaust air from the radiator to the one lateral side in the vehicle widthwise direction.
