## Abstract

One embodiment provides a saddle-ride type vehicle. The vehicle includes a main frame; a drive source supported by a lower side of the main frame; an energy storing part supported by an upper side of the main frame; a front wheel steerably supported via a front fork mounted on a front side of the main frame; a rear wheel supported via a swing arm mounted on a rear side of the main frame and configured to be driven by the drive source; and seat frames disposed on the rear side of the main frame to support a riding seat. A braking control device is disposed within a lateral width between the seat frames, and is supported by a rear fender supported by the seat frame via a vibration control member. And, an inertia measuring device is supported by the braking control device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A saddle-ride type vehicle (1) including:
a main frame (2b);
a drive source (E) supported by a lower side of the main frame (2b);
an energy storing part (5) supported by an upper side of the main frame (2b);
a front wheel (FW) steerably supported via a front fork (3) mounted on a front side of the main frame (2b);
a rear wheel (RW) supported via a swing arm (8) mounted on a rear side of the main frame (2b) and configured to be driven by the drive source (E);
seat frames (2c) disposed on the rear side of the main frame (2b) to support a riding seat (7);
a braking control device (10) disposed within a lateral width between the seat frames (2c) and configured to control braking of the front wheel (FW) or the rear wheel (RW); and
an inertia measuring device (20) configured to measure inertias in X, Y and Z axes of the vehicle,
wherein the braking control device (10) is supported by a rear fender (42) supported by the seat frame (2c) via a vibration control member (61), and
wherein the inertia measuring device (20) is supported by the braking control device (10).

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The vehicle (1) of claim 1,
wherein the braking control device (10) is supported by a bolt (71) fastened to the rear fender (42) via the vibration control member (61), and
wherein the inertia measuring device (20) is supported by a mounting bracket (25) which is co-fastened to the bolt (71).

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The vehicle (1) of claim 2,
wherein the braking control device (10) is disposed in a frontwardly and downwardly inclined manner, and
wherein the mounting bracket (25) is disposed in front of and below the braking control device (10), and is co-fastened to the inertia measuring device (20) by the bolt (71).

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The vehicle (1) of claim 2,
wherein the mounting bracket (25) includes an engaging portion (25k) which engages with the rear fender (42) and restricts the rotation of the mounting bracket (25).

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The vehicle (1) of claim 2,
wherein the rear fender (42) is supported by the seat frame (2c) via a placing portion (42fk) on which the rear fender (42) is placed by being caught by an upper surface (2cu) of the seat frame (2c), and
wherein the riding seat (7) is disposed above the rear fender (42).

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The vehicle (1) of claim 1,
wherein the inertia measuring device (20) is disposed behind the energy storing part (5) and in front of the braking control device (10), and the inertia measuring device (20) is disposed at a height where the inertia measuring device (20) overlaps with the energy storing part (5) and the braking control device (10) in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The vehicle (1) of claim 6,
wherein the inertia measuring device (20) is covered by an inertia measuring device cover (26) from above, and the inertia measuring device cover (26) is brought into contact with the energy storing part (5) and is supported by the seat frame (2c).

### Claim 8

A saddle-ride type vehicle (1) including:
a main frame (2b);
a drive source (E) supported by a lower side of the main frame (2b);
an energy storing part (5) supported by an upper side of the main frame (2b);
a front wheel (FW) steerably supported via a front fork (3) mounted on a front side of the main frame (2b);
a rear wheel (RW) supported via a swing arm (8) mounted on a rear side of the main frame (2b) and configured to be driven by the drive source (E);
seat frames (2c) disposed on the rear side of the main frame (2b) to support a riding seat (7);
a braking control device (10) disposed within a lateral width between the seat frames (2c) and configured to control braking of the front wheel (FW) or the rear wheel (RW); and
an inertia measuring device (20) configured to measure inertias in X, Y and Z axes of the vehicle,
wherein the inertia measuring device (20) is supported by a storing part mounting bracket (35) provided to the energy storing part (5) via a vibration control member (62).
