ENGINE SUPPORT SYSTEM AND METHOD
20220332182 · 2022-10-20 ·

Aspects of the disclosure relate to an engine support system and method. The engine support system includes a frame mounted engine support and at least one engine mounted coupler. The engine support includes a frame mount with a telescoping body and opposing arms to releasably engage a frame of a vehicle, and at least one jack assembly. Each jack assembly includes a collar coupled to and horizontally movable along the telescoping body, and a jack rod coupled to and vertically movable relative to the collar. The jack rod includes a ball mount configured to insert into the coupler at an underside of an engine block of the vehicle. Each jack assembly is configured to support and/or lift the engine block relative to the vehicle frame by vertical movement of the ball mount into the coupler and relative to the frame mount engaged with the vehicle frame.

Saddle riding vehicle

A saddle riding vehicle includes a body frame, an engine supported by the body frame, an exhaust sensor that detects exhaust air of the engine, and a radiator for the engine. The engine is supported by an engine hanger portion disposed in the body frame. The exhaust sensor is disposed on an exhaust pipe of the engine at a position on a front with respect to the engine hanger portion and is positioned underneath the radiator. At least a part of the exhaust sensor overlaps the engine hanger portion as viewed in a front view of a vehicle.

DISTRIBUTED ACTIVE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WITH AN ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN PUMP AND VALVE CONTROLLED HYDRAULIC PUMP BYPASS FLOW PATH

A regenerative shock absorber that include a housing and a piston that moves at least partially through the housing when the shock is compressed or extended from a rest position. When the piston moves, hydraulic fluid is pressurized and drives a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor, in turn, drives an electric generator that produced electric energy. The electric energy may be provided to a vehicle, among other things. The regenerative shock absorber may also provide ride performance that comparable to or exceeds that of conventional shock absorbers.
