Abstract
A shift control device in a saddle-ride-type vehicle includes a lost motion mechanism and a locking mechanism. The lost motion mechanism is disposed between a shift spindle and a shift drum and engages a shifter-side rotary member on a shift spindle side and a drum-side rotary member on a shift drum side, in a relatively rotatable manner while accumulating a force. The locking mechanism is engaged with the shifter-side rotary member and the drum-side rotary member, respectively, so as to restrict the rotation of the shifter-side rotary member and the rotation of the drum-side rotary member, individually.
Claims7
A shift control device of a saddle-ride-type vehicle having an engine and a transmission, wherein the transmission includes a shift spindle which is rotated due to an external force for shifting, and a shift drum which is intermittently rotated corresponding to the rotation of the shift spindle, so as to operate a shift fork and thereby performing the selection of a shift gear, said shift control device comprising:
- a lost motion mechanism disposed between the shift spindle and the shift drum, and which engages an upstream-side rotary member on a shift spindle side thereof, and a downstream-side rotary member on a shift drum side thereof, in a relatively rotatable manner while accumulating a force, and
- a locking mechanism engaged with said upstream-side rotary member and said downstream-side rotary member, respectively, so as to restrict the rotation of said upstream-side rotary member and the rotation of said downstream-side rotary member individually.
