| 20100057312 | CONTROL SYSTEM AND VEHICLE - A control system for a vehicle includes a CPU, a throttle sensor, a shift actuator, and fuel injectors. When the CPU detects a control failure of the throttle valve with a value detected by the throttle sensor, the CPU adjusts the output of the engine by controlling the fuel injectors such that the motorcycle runs with a previously set negative target acceleration. Also, the CPU controls the shift actuator such that the transmission is shifted down in steps as the speed of the motorcycle decreases. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100057313 | CONTROL SYSTEM AND VEHICLE - A control system for a vehicle includes a CPU, a throttle sensor, a brake sensor, and fuel injectors. When the CPU detects a control failure of the throttle valve with a value detected by the throttle sensor, the CPU adjusts the output of the engine by controlling the fuel injectors such that the motorcycle runs with a previously set negative target acceleration. Also, when the CPU detects a brake operation by the driver with the brake sensor after the occurrence of the control failure, the CPU corrects the target acceleration such that the deceleration of the motorcycle becomes larger. Then, the CPU adjusts the output of the engine such that the motorcycle runs with the corrected target acceleration. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100087995 | TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM AND VEHICLE - A transmission control system includes an up-shifting operation device, a clutch actuator, a shift actuator and a CPU. The CPU controls the clutch actuator to start a disconnection operation of a clutch at a time point when movement of an operation lever of the up-shifting operation device is started. Moreover, the CPU controls the clutch actuator to complete the disconnection operation of the clutch at a time point when the movement of the operation lever is finished. Then, the CPU shifts a gear position of a transmission by controlling the shift actuator. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20110054752 | MULTIPLE CLUTCH TRANSMISSION CONTROL APPARATUS AND MULTIPLE CLUTCH TRANSMISSION CONTROL METHOD - A multiple clutch transmission control apparatus performs gear changing smoothly by improving clutch torque control precision, without reducing the speed of gear changing, in a vehicle or the like including a multiple clutch transmission. With this control apparatus, a control unit switches the transmission gear from the previous gear to the next gear by changing the torque transfer path by controlling the first clutch and the second clutch in a clutch changeover period. In the clutch changeover period, the control unit changes the torque transfer path by raising the clutch torque capacity of whichever of the first clutch and the second clutch is the next-gear-side clutch to reach a target value, and then lowering the clutch torque capacity of the previous-gear-side clutch. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20110094816 | ALL TERRAIN VEHICLE - An all terrain vehicle includes a pair of right and left front wheels, at least a pair of right and left rear wheels, a vehicle body frame, a pair of right and left first roof supports, a pair of right and left second roof supports, a pair of right and left roof members, a seat, a front panel, an engine unit, a pair of right and left head light units and a front carry bar. The vehicle body frame supports the pair of front wheels and the pair of rear wheels. The right and left first roof supports are provided at transversely lateral sides of the vehicle body frame. The right and left second roof supports are also provided at the transversely lateral sides of the vehicle body frame. The right/left roof member connects an upper portion of the right/left first roof support and an upper portion of the right/left second roof support. The right/left head light unit overlaps with a right/left hub of the right/left front wheel in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The front carry bar is disposed forward of the vehicle body frame. The front carry bar includes a pair of right and left resin covers. The resin covers at least cover below the front portions of the right and left head light units, respectively. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110094818 | ALL TERRAIN VEHICLE - In an all terrain vehicle, an engine body of an engine unit is positioned along a center line that is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a transverse direction of the vehicle. A continuously variable transmission of the engine unit is disposed transversely lateral to the engine body. A center console includes an inner space. The center console is disposed in a transverse center portion of a cabin space. The center console connects a space positioned forward of a front panel and a space positioned under a seat. An intake duct is connected to an upper surface of the engine unit, and extends forward therefrom. The intake duct is at least partially disposed in the interior of the center console. An exhaust duct is connected to the engine unit, and extends rearward therefrom. | 04-28-2011 |
