A remaining distance meter for easily assuring detection of the remaining distance up to the destination from the current position and for recognizes intuitively and visually whether the vehicle is running closer toward the destination or becoming far from the destination. A remaining distance meter is displayed on the display area of the navigation apparatus to realize a graphic display which expands and compresses depending on the distance up to the destination from the current position. In the remaining distance meter, the reference distance mark is previously given and the distance up to the destination from the current position is displayed at the starting time by defining the reference distance mark as the starting point. When the distance up to the destination from the current position is increased or decreased after the running of vehicle, the display of the remaining distance meter expands or compresses depending on an increase or a decrease of the remaining distance. When the remaining distance setting button is depressed during the running of the vehicle, the remaining distance from the reference distance mark defined as the starting point can be displayed in an enlarged size. Moreover, the mark for storing the remaining distance at the time when the remaining distance setting button is depressed can also be displayed.

Remaining distance meter

A friction material comprising a filler, a binder, and a lubricant, wherein a part or the whole of the filler is constituted by molybdenum trioxide. Not only is the friction material improved in anti-cracking property and anti-fading property under high-temperature and high-load conditions, but the friction material can be prevented from deterioration due to ashing.

Friction materials

A friction material is prepared by mixing copper oxide particles as a friction modifier into a friction material composed of reinforcing fibers, particularly, metal fibers such as copper fibers or the like, a bonding material, and a friction modifier.

Friction material

A pair of main frames, which form an essential part of a body frame of a motorcycle, are fixed at the front ends to a head pipe, and extend toward the rear portion of a body at a given increasing interval. Each of the main frames includes therein a partition extending in the longitudinal direction.

Body frames for automatic two-wheeled vehicles

A motorcycle including a pair of right and left main frame members, an engine being disposed at a lower part of the main frame members, a fuel tank being disposed at an upper part thereof, whereby the motorcycle is provided with a partition wall disposed between the main frame members and the engine. The upper part of this partition wall forms an air passage extending forward from backward of a vehicle body. At a rear portion of this air passage, a carburetor is exposed after penetrating the partition wall. The front end portion of the partition wall forms an air guiding portion extending to the front part of a radiator after riding over the radiator. The carburetor is effectively cooled by travelling air guided by the air passage via the air guiding portion. The partition wall also serves to prevent transmission of radiation of engine to the upper portion of the vehicle body.

Motorcycle

For at least a portion of a body frame, a pipe member is used, which includes therein a longitudinal partition wall for defining passages. The pipe member is provided with an inlet and an outlet to be in communication with the passages. A plurality of passages defined in the pipe member are used for various purposes including cable insertion passages, engine breeder passages or air feeding passages.
