Patent ID: 8235472

Claim:
A braking system for a motorcycle, comprising: an operation quantity detector for detecting an operation quantity of a brake operating member; a hydraulic pressure generating unit which generates hydraulic pressure independently of operation of the brake operating member; a pressure regulating unit interposed between the hydraulic pressure generating unit and a wheel brake to regulate the hydraulic pressure outputted from the hydraulic pressure generating unit and apply the regulated hydraulic pressure to the wheel brake; a control unit for controlling the operation of the pressure regulating unit based on a detection value provided from the operation quantity detector; a support member fixing the pressure regulating unit to an engine body, the engine body mounted on a body frame of the motorcycle; a holding case which holds the pressure regulating unit therein; and at least one elastic isolation member disposed between the support member and the holding case for reducing vibration of the engine body transmitted to the pressure regulating unit, wherein the holding case is supported on the support member through the at least one elastic isolation member, and is also supported on the engine body through an elastic weight-bearing member.
