て緩衝器Ｄにより緩衝的に支承される。 In addition, a shock absorber D containing a suspension spring is disposed between the left and right frames 1, 1, and its upper end is connected to the both sides frames 1, 1.
The lower end of the cross member 4 is pivotally supported by a central bracket 4a of a cross member 4 that connects the rear fork 3, and its lower end is connected to the intermediate portion of the rear fork 3 via a link 6, and the intermediate portion of the link 6 is connected to a lever 7. It is connected to the lower end of the side frame 1 via. The end connections of the link 6 and lever 7 are both pivot connections. Therefore, the upward load applied to the rear wheel W is supported by the shock absorber D via the rear fork 3 link 6 and the lever 7.
第２図に示すように、上記緩衝器Ｄの上端壁に

操作ノブ１２を連杆１０から取外し得ることは、
緩衝器Ｄの着脱作業上好都合である。 As shown in FIG. 2, a damping characteristic adjusting member 9 is provided on the upper end wall of the shock absorber D and protrudes from a long hole 8, and by moving this member 9 along the long hole 8, the damping characteristic of the shock absorber D can be adjusted. can be adjusted. In order to enable the adjustment member 9 to be operated outside the vehicle body F, a connecting rod 10 is connected to the adjustment member 9, and its tip extends through a bearing bracket 11 fixed to the side frame 1 to the outside of the vehicle body. It is pulled out, and an operation knob 12 is removably attached to its tip with a screw 13. Therefore, operation knob 1
By pushing and pulling 2, the adjusting member 9 can be actuated via the connecting rod 10. As in the above configuration,
The ability to remove the operating knob 12 from the connecting rod 10 is as follows:
This is convenient for attaching and detaching the buffer D.
尚、第１図中Ｂはクロスメンバ４上に設置され
