    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for determining an operative shift configuration of a drive mechanism (1) of a gearbox (G) of a saddle-ride type vehicle (4). In particular, this method is applied to a drive mechanism (1) comprising a pedal shift lever (12) and a quick-shifter device (5) that connects, directly or indirectly, the lever to the gearbox, where this device includes a rod (10) and first sensor means (SM0, SM1-SM2) that detect the variation of the tension state of said rod (10) following a gear shifting. The method according to the invention includes acquiring a first signal (S1) generated by said first sensor means and determining, based on said first signal, whether the rod is in a traction tension state or in a compression tension state. The method also includes acquiring at least a second signal (S2) generated by second sensor means (SM3) and determining, based on this second signal (S2), the gear engaged following said gear shifting and/or the direction of said gear shifting. Finally, the method includes determining the operative shift configuration of the drive mechanism based on the tension state determined in the step B) and the gear engaged and/or based on the direction of said gear shifting determined in the step D).

    摘要: A motorcycle transmission includes a swingarm which extends from one hinging end to a motorcycle chassis, defining an oscillation axis, at one connection end to a wheel, a homokinetic joint arranged on the side of the hinging end, and a geared coupling positioned on the side of the connection end. The homokinetic joint kinematically reciprocally connects a first end of an input shaft, connected to a power take-off, and a second end of an output shaft mechanically connected to the geared coupling. The geared coupling transmits motion to the wheel. The homokinetic joint performs an instantaneously constant transmission ratio between the first and the second end. The homokinetic joint is offset to the hinging end of the swingarm, in a vertical direction perpendicular to the support surface of the wheel and permits oscillation of the output shaft between a stroke start and a stroke end, parallel to the oscillation axis.
