摘要:
A clutching system comprises a lever mechanism portion and a clutch mechanism portion. The lever mechanism portion comprises a push lever. The push lever comprises a cam surface. The clutch mechanism portion comprises a push rod. The push rod comprises a cam follower. A Belleville spring functions as a clutch spring. The cam surface and the cam follower are formed such that a lever ratio of the push lever at a pivot start position is larger than a lever ratio of the push lever at a pivot finish position. The Belleville spring is formed such that a force required to move the push lever at the pivot finish position is smaller than a force required to move to the push lever at the pivot start position.

In a motorcycle having a V-belt type continuously variable transmission, a resin washer made of a nylon resin is interposed between a boss fixed to a moving sheave half of a secondary sheave and a spring bearing member. The boss contacts the spring bearing member through the resin washer, whereby the moving sheave half is restricted to a Top position, in which a spacing between it and a stationary sheave half becomes maximum. In this manner, the maximum speed is not changed by exchange of the V-belt, the V-belt does not slip or become considerably abraded or deteriorated, and noise generation is suppressed.

Abrasion of a V-belt in a belt type continuously variable transmission accommodated in an engine unit of a motorcycle is suppressed. A V-belt wound around and contacting a primary sheave and a secondary sheave 72 is at least partially formed from a resin. A plurality of grooves aligned at a predetermined pitch in a radial direction are formed on sheave surfaces of the primary and secondary sheaves. The average pitch P(mm) of the grooves is P≦−0.08K×10−3+0.18, where K(Hv) indicates surface hardness of the sheave surfaces.

In a stepwise automatic transmission, a mass is concentrated in a longitudinal direction thereof. The stepwise automatic transmission includes an input shaft, an intermediate shaft, an output shaft, a first clutch which is connected and disconnected in accordance with a rotation speed of the input shaft, first and second power transmission mechanisms, and a second clutch which is connected and disconnected in accordance with rotation speed of the intermediate shaft. The intermediate shaft is disposed rearward of the input shaft. When the first clutch is connected, the first power transmission mechanism transmits rotation of the input shaft to the intermediate shaft. The second clutch is provided on the intermediate shaft. When the second clutch is connected, the second power transmission mechanism transmits rotation of the intermediate shaft to the output shaft. A front end of the second clutch is located forward of a rear end of the first clutch as viewed from an axial direction of the input shaft.

A motorcycle having high durability and a large space below a seat includes an internal space at least a portion of which is located between an engine unit and a seat provided in a cover member. The engine unit is pivotally suspended on a body frame. A center axis of a cylinder extends obliquely upward from a crankcase and forwardly. Oil reservoirs are provided in a bottom of a crank chamber and a bottom of a portion of a transmission chamber located in a front portion of a transmission case, respectively. The oil reservoirs are communicated with each other by a communication path. A bottom surface of the transmission chamber in the portion in which portion the oil reservoir is provided is located downward of the bottom surface of the portion rearward of the oil reservoir of the transmission chamber.

摘要:
A downsized power unit equipped with a clutch operation-assisting device that reduces operation force of a clutch lever. The clutch operation-assisting device includes a push shaft and a first rotation plate that is rotatably supported by a support plate and connected to a clutch wire, and slides the push shaft by rotation. The first rotation plate and a second rotation plate are connected by gear. The second rotation plate is rotatably supported by a bearing member fixed to the support plate. A spring unit that provides assisting force in a direction to disengage a friction clutch is connected to the second rotation plate by pin. The spring unit, as seen from a shaft direction of the push shaft, is disposed so that an extension direction of an auxiliary spring does not pass through a rotation center of a pressure plate.
