Apparatus for taking-off power from a transmission to a speedometer in a motorcycle

Abstract

This invention pertains to a power take-off device for taking-off power from a rotary output shaft of a transmission, through an output gear connected to a speed meter cable and an input gear meshing with the output gear, to a speedometer in a motorcycle. The improvement provided by the invention resides in a combination including: a drive sprocket mounted on a projecting portion of the transmission output shaft, which shaft projects outwardly from a tranmsission case; a sprocket cover for covering the drive sprocket; a gear case for housing the input gear and the output gear; and a connecting means provided at an end of the output shaft of the tranmission for connecting a rotating shaft of the input gear to the output shaft of the transmission. The gear case is operable to support the rotating shaft of the input gear for detachable driven engagement with the connecting means of the output shaft of the transmission.
