A vehicle including an engine, a tilting sensor configured to detect that a vehicle body of the vehicle has been tilted a predetermined angle or larger, a driving state sensor configured to detect a driving state of the vehicle using a component other than the tilting sensor, and a determiner configured to determine whether or not to stop the engine, based on a signal received from the tilting sensor, and a signal received from the driving state sensor.

Vehicle and method of determining whether or not to stop engine mounted in vehicle

A method of controlling an engine for a vehicle including increasing an amount of air taken into the engine to an amount larger than an idling air amount corresponding an idling engine speed, when an engine speed of the engine is predetermined value or more, a throttle valve for controlling the amount of air taken into the engine has not been operated to be opened, and a clutch is in an off-state not to permit transmission of a drive force from the engine to a running drive element of the vehicle.

Method and system for controlling an engine for a vehicle, and a motorcycle

A leisure vehicle including a plurality of communication devices built into a vehicle body of the leisure vehicle; and a multiplex communication line through which the plurality of communication devices are coupled to each other. The communication devices are configured to perform multiplexed data communication through the multiplex communication line. The multiplex communication line is positioned a distance apart from a noise source mounted in the vehicle body so as not to be subjected to a noise.

Leisure vehicle

A theft prevention apparatus of a leisure vehicle equipped with a rider's seat which opens outside is disclosed. The theft prevention apparatus typically includes a portable transmitter configured to transmit a user identification code by radio at predetermined intervals during travel of the vehicle, a vehicle receiver mounted in the vehicle and configured to receive the user identification code which is transmitted by radio from the portable transmitter, a controller coupled to the vehicle receiver through a signal line or by radio, and an alarm device mounted in the vehicle and configured to indicate an alarm to inform the rider that the portable transmitter has been lost, wherein the controller is configured to determine whether or not the vehicle receiver has received the user identification code transmitted from the transmitter within a predetermined time during travel of the vehicle, and to execute control to cause the alarm device to indicate the alarm when the controller determines that the receiver does not receive the user identification code within the predetermined time.

Theft prevention apparatus of leisure vehicle

A method of feeding fuel to an engine, comprising the steps of determining whether or not the engine is decelerating based on a time-lapse change rate of an engine speed of the engine, and reducing an amount of the fuel to be fed to air taken into the engine from outside to less than a reference amount preset according to the engine speed when it is determined that the engine is decelerating.
