Abstract:
1. A brake system for a motorcycle, comprising: an operating amount detector for detecting an operating amount of a manually operable brake operating element, a fluid pressure generating unit capable of generating a fluid pressure separately from an operation of said brake operating element, a pressure-regulating unit interposed between said fluid pressure generating unit and a wheel brake for regulating an output fluid pressure from said fluid pressure generating unit and applying the regulated fluid pressure to said wheel brake, a control unit for controlling the operation of said pressure-regulating unit based on output from said operating amount detector, a flexibly resilient case covering said pressure-regulating unit, and a support member for supporting the case on a body frame of the motorcycle, said support member configured and arranged to flexibly support the pressure-regulating unit thereon in a vibration-damping manner, said support member having a cage structure comprising: wherein said pressure-regulating unit is supported between said lower and upper cage bodies through said flexibly resilient case.
