Abstract:
An air intake chamber (74) for a motorcycle is disposed downstream of a supercharger (62), for pressurizing and supplying an intake air (I) to an engine (E), and upstream of a throttle body (76), for controlling the amount of the intake air to be supplied to an air intake port (47) of the engine (E). The air intake chamber (74) serves to accumulate the high pressure intake air (I) discharged from the supercharger (42). The air intake chamber (74) is provided with an injector (75), which has a fuel injecting port (75a) positioned at a location displaced from an axis (AX) of an outlet (68) of the air intake chamber (74).
Abstract:
A combustion engine (E) mounted on a motorcycle includes an engine rotary shaft (39) extending in a vehicle widthwise direction and a supercharger (62) disposed rearwardly of a cylinder block (42). The combustion engine (E) also includes an air intake duct (70) through which an incoming wind (A) flowing forwardly of a traveling direction with respect to the combustion engine (E) is introduced into the supercharger (62). The air intake duct (70) is fluid connected with an air intake port of the supercharger (62) after having passed laterally of the combustion engine (E).
Abstract:
An upwardly protruding cylinder block (30) is formed in a front portion of a crankcase (28) for supporting a crankshaft (26) of an engine (E). A cylinder head (32) is connected with an upper portion of the cylinder block (30), and a combustion chamber (71) of an internal combustion engine is formed within the cylinder block (30) and the cylinder head (32). A knocking sensor (80) for detecting the occurrence of knocking in the engine (E) is fitted to a left side end surface (30) of the cylinder block (30).
Abstract:
A supercharging system (SY) for a combustion engine (E) of a motorcycle includes a supercharger (42) which pressurizes intake air (I) and supplies the intake air (I) to the combustion engine (E), an air intake chamber (74) which is connected to downstream of the supercharger (42), a relief passage (RP) which relieves the high-pressure intake air (I) within the air intake chamber (74), and a relief valve (80) which is provided on the relief passage (RP). The air intake chamber (74) is disposed above the combustion engine (E), and the relief passage (RP) is disposed below an upper end of the air intake chamber (74). The relief passage (RP) is connected to a front surface of the air intake chamber (74).
Abstract:
A motorcycle includes a supercharger (42) to pressurize an intake air (I) and supplying it to a combustion engine (E) and an air intake chamber (74) disposed downstream of the supercharger (42). The air intake chamber (74) is made of a metallic material and has a capacity (V) of an interior space thereof which is within the range of three to eight times the displacement (X) of the combustion engine. The dimension (L) from an upstream end portion on an inlet side of the interior space of the air intake chamber (74) to a downstream end portion on an outlet side of the interior space of such air intake chamber (74) is chosen to be three or more times the inner diameter (D) of an outlet (73).

Abstract:
An air intake chamber (74) is disposed at a location downstream of a supercharger (62) and upstream of a throttle body (76). The air intake chamber (74) serves to accumulate an intake air (I) pressurized by the supercharger (42). This air intake chamber (74) includes a confronting portion (84), which has an outlet (73) and overlaps the throttle body (76), and a connecting portion (86) that connects between the confronting portion (84) and a discharge port (48) of the supercharger (42). The connecting portion (86) has an outlet side opening (68) set to be larger than an inlet side opening (77) thereof.
Abstract:
A reference angle detecting device includes a control shaft (60) that is connected to a controlled object (e.g., to a variable valve actuation mechanism of an engine E) and an electric motor (73) that causes the control shaft (60) to rotate via a worm gear mechanism (72), a stopper (80) disposed on a motion track of a worm wheel (74), an angle sensor (94) that can detect a rotation angle of the control shaft (60), and a controller (90). The stopper (80) includes a spring member (for example, torsion coil spring (84)) which is elastically deformable in an operation direction of the worm wheel (74). The controller (90) drives the electric motor (73) to operate so that the worm wheel (74) may face the stopper (80), and stores the rotation angle at a time point when a change rate É of the rotation angle ¸ detected by the angle sensor (94) changes to a value less than a predetermined threshold É1 as a reference angle ¸ 0 . With this, the reference angle can be detected with high accuracy for control of an angle of the control shaft.
