A holding structure of a tire air pressure detecting device includes a tire air pressure detecting device () which is held by a screw shaft () of a tire valve (), a fixing nut () which is screwed to the screw shaft () and configured to fix the tire valve () to a wheel rim (), a holding sleeve () which is screwed to the screw shaft () and configured to hold the tire air pressure detecting device () on the screw shaft (), an elastic member () which is sandwiched between the tire air pressure detecting device () and a device supporting portion () including at least one of the fixing nut (), the holding sleeve () and the wheel rim () in an axial direction of the screw shaft (), and a rotation restricting portion () which is configured to restrict rotation of the tire air pressure detecting device () around the screw shaft () between the elastic member () and the tire air pressure detecting device ().

Holding structure for tire air pressure detecting device

In a rear wheel suspension structure of a motorcycle includes a body frame, a swing arm swingably supported by the body frame through a pivot shaft and a drive shaft for transmitting drive power to a rear wheel. A drive shaft insertion hole is formed in the swing arm with the drive shaft being inserted in the insertion hole. The pivot shaft is arranged so as to overlap with the drive shaft insertion hole in a side view. The pivot shaft is provided as a one-side supporting shaft. Another-side supporting shaft is provided independent from each other on the left and right. A thrust bearing and a radial bearing are arranged between the swing arm and the one-side supporting shaft as well as the another-side supporting shaft provided in the swing arm.
