A utility vehicle comprising a frame, a body supported by the frame, a seating area supported by the frame, front and rear ground engaging members supporting the frame and the body, and a powertrain drivingly coupled to the front and rear ground engaging members, the powertrain including an engine having a cylinder block having a plurality of cylinders, a cylinder head removably coupled to the cylinder block, a crankcase having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion of the crankcase being removably coupled to the cylinder block, and at least one gasket positioned between the cylinder block and the first portion of the crankcase, the at least one gasket configured to individually seal each of the plurality of cylinders relative to the first portion of the crankcase.

Off-road vehicle

A utility vehicle including a plurality of ground-engaging members, a frame supported by the ground-engaging members, and a powertrain assembly supported by the frame and including an engine supported by the frame, the engine including an exhaust side and a turbocharger operably coupled to the engine, the turbocharger having a turbine housing supporting a turbine and a compressor housing supporting a compressor, the turbocharger being positioned on the exhaust side of the engine and rearward of the engine, a space between the turbocharger and the engine being less than 9 inches.

Powertrain for a utility vehicle

A vehicle shown herein is a side by side utility vehicle having a powertrain an engine with at least three cylinders, an intake and an exhaust, where the intake is forward of the engine and the exhaust is rearward of the engine. The vehicle may further or alternatively include an engine block configured to couple with various transmissions without alteration of the engine block itself.

An off-road vehicle includes a powertrain assembly having an engine and a steel belt continuously variable transmission. Portions of the powertrain assembly are supported at a rear portion of the vehicle and are positioned relative to other components of the vehicle also supported at the rear portion of the vehicle. The vehicle also is configured for various operating modes.

A utility vehicle includes a plurality of ground-engaging members, a frame supported by the ground-engaging members, and a powertrain assembly. The powertrain assembly includes an engine, a shiftable transmission, a continuously variable transmission, and a charger. Additionally, the utility vehicle may include a cooling assembly fluidly coupled to at least the engine and the charger.

Utility vehicle

A utility vehicle includes a plurality of ground-engaging members, a frame supported by the ground-engaging members, and a plurality of body panels supported by the frame. The utility vehicle also includes a radiator supported on a rear portion of the frame. Additionally, the utility vehicle includes an air intake assembly partially supported by an upper portion of the frame.

Vehicle

The present invention relates to all terrain vehicles having at least a pair of laterally spaced apart seating surfaces. More particularly, the present invention relates to trail compliant side-by-side all terrain vehicles.

Side-by-side ATV

A continuously variable transmission for a utility vehicle includes a drive clutch, a driven clutch operably coupled to the drive clutch, and a housing generally surrounding the drive and driven clutches. The housing includes an inner cover, an outer cover removably coupled to the inner cover, an air inlet positioned on one of the inner cover or the outer cover, and an air outlet positioned on the one of the inner cover or the outer cover.
