A fill level sensor for a liquid soap container or vessel has a float-bearing arm and an accelerometer that is attached to a surface of the arm to detect changes in the volume of liquid soap in the container. A feedback system then conveys fill status information based on the output of the accelerometer, such as to service personnel who may be responsible for replenishing the supply of liquid soap in the container.

A reverse drive assembly for a motorcycle that includes a transmission assembly having a main shaft and a counter shaft. The reverse drive assembly includes a first drive member configured to be coupled to an opposite end of the main shaft, a second drive member configured to be coupled to a second end of the counter shaft, and an engagement member operatively positioned between the second drive member and the counter shaft. The engagement member is movable between a first position out of engagement with the second drive member and the counter shaft, and a second position in engagement between the second drive member and the counter shaft to drive the counter shaft in a reverse direction. In some constructions, the engagement member is operatively positioned between the first drive member and the main shaft.

A rear axle assembly for a vehicle having an engine and a rear wheel including an axle configured to couple to the rear wheel, a compensator bowl coupled to the axle and having a ring gear, and a drive member coupled to the compensator bowl. The drive member is configured to be driven by the engine to rotate the axle in a forward direction. The rear axle assembly also includes a motor selectively engageable with the ring gear. The motor is operable to drive the ring gear to rotate the axle in a reverse direction.

A compensator assembly for a motorcycle engine including a hub and a compensator coupled to the engine crankshaft. The compensator is axially moveable along the crankshaft axis and a sprocket is supported for rotation with respect to the crankshaft. Cam surfaces on the compensator and the sprocket cooperate to transfer engine torque from the crankshaft to the sprocket. A spring biases the compensator into engagement with the sprocket and a resilient member is positioned between the hub and the compensator to resiliently limit axial movement of the compensator toward the hub. Torque pulses from the engine are damped by allowing relative rotation between the sprocket and the crankshaft.
