Abstract
A device for preventing displacement of an engine in a motorcycle when a driving chain which transmits the rotation of the engine to a rear wheel has created a counteraction on the engine when the motorcycle is started. The device comprises a rigid tubular member fitted about each end portion of each bolt mounting the engine on a body frame, and a generally cylindrical anti-vibratory rubber member encircling the tubular member, and secured thereto. The tubular member terminates at one end in a flange defining a pair of stops which can abut on the peripheral surface of a hole formed in the engine and through which the bolt extends.
