Abstract: An off-road vehicle includes a frame assembly, a powertrain, a plurality of wheels and a seat assembly. A cargo box is coupled to the frame assembly aft of the seat assembly. The cargo box includes a floor and a plurality of side walls. A cargo bed is pivotally coupled relative to the cargo box about a forward hinge. The cargo bed includes a floor and a plurality of side walls forming an upper storage space. The cargo bed is tiltable between a closed position, in which the cargo bed is a cover for the cargo box forming a lower storage space within the cargo box below the cargo bed, and an open position, in which the cargo bed provides access to the lower storage space. An optional accessory rack is pivotally coupled relative to the cargo bed and the frame assembly, and is tiltable with the cargo bed.

Abstract: An off-road vehicle includes a frame assembly, a powertrain, a seat assembly, a plurality of wheels and a rear suspension including first and second shock absorbers that respectively couple first and second rear wheels to the frame assembly. A first remote auxiliary reservoir is in fluid communication with the first shock absorber and has a manual control configured to adjust a damping function of the first shock absorber. A second remote auxiliary reservoir is in fluid communication with the second shock absorber and has a manual control configured to adjust a damping function of the second shock absorber. The manual controls of the remote auxiliary reservoirs are accessible by an occupant of the vehicle, thereby enabling active adjustments to the damping function of the rear suspension.

Abstract: A fuel tube filler neck includes a first thread is formed on an inner surface and a second thread formed on an outer surface. The first thread, second thread, and tube may be co-molded of thermoplastic (e.g., nylon) and the first and second thread may overlap one another. The outer surface includes a cylindrical portion and a recessed portion, the second thread being formed on the recessed portion. Attachment structures are secured to the fuel tube for mounting the fuel tube to a fuel tank. A first type of fuel cap is engaged with the first thread and a second type of fuel cap is engaged with the second thread. Vehicles with different types of fuel caps may be shipped to different geographic regions.

Abstract: A system for and method of separating oil from crankcase air is provided. The system includes replacing a standard shaft, such as a water pump shaft, with a breather shaft of the present invention and venting crankcase air through the breather shaft to an outside volume of air, such as in an air box. The breather shaft includes a centrifuge positioned within an interior volume of the crankcase and a first portion extending from the centrifuge through a wall of the crankcase. The centrifuge defines a plurality of inlet passageways extending from an outer surface of the centrifuge towards an interior area of the centrifuge. The first portion of the breather shaft defines a venting passageway extending from the interior area of the centrifuge to a vent opening at a distal end of the breather shaft.

Abstract: A powertrain for a snowmobile includes an engine, a gearbox input shaft receiving rotational energy from the engine and a reversible belt drive assembly coupled to the gearbox input shaft. The reversible belt drive assembly is switchable between a forward mode and a reverse mode and includes a pulley, a planetary gear system coaxial with the pulley and a selector collar assembly interposed between the pulley and the planetary gear system translatable between a first position to form a forward geartrain bypassing the planetary gear system in the forward mode and a second position to form a reverse geartrain including the planetary gear system in the reverse mode.

Abstract: A drive package includes a remote located CVT and a motor where the CVT is positioned rearward (or forward) of the motor. An auxiliary drive mechanism couples a drive shaft of the CVT to a crankshaft of the motor. The auxiliary drive mechanism is a belt or chain. The drive shaft is substantially parallel to, and longitudinally offset from, the crankshaft. Thus, the width of the drive package is reduced as compared to ATVs having a CVT located adjacent the motor.

Abstract: An attachment system includes a connector that is removably securable to a vehicle body or a mounting bracket that is securable to a vehicle body. The connector includes a housing and a connecting pin extending from a surface of the housing. The connecting pin is receivable in the mounting bracket or the vehicle body in a first position, and the connecting pin is moveable to a second position such that a portion of the mounting bracket or vehicle body is located intermediate a portion of the connecting pin and the housing. The connector further includes a locking pin moveable from a locking position to a release position. The locking pin is engaged with the mounting bracket or the vehicle body in the locking position, thereby inhibiting movement of the connecting pin from the second position. The locking pin is disengaged from the mounting bracket or the vehicle body when in the release position, thereby allowing removal of the connecting pin from the vehicle body or the mounting bracket.
