ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns a cooling structure for a continuous variation transmission system of an all-terrain vehicle. Primarily speaking, it has an inlet conduit attached to the air inlet of the gearbox, with said inlet conduit extending in front of the engine until it reaches the below of the front mud guard, and an inlet box attached to the inlet conduit. An exhaust conduit is also being attached to the exhaust of the gearbox, with said exhaust pipe extending to the rear of the engine until it reaches the below of the rear mud guard, and an exhaust box is attached to the exhaust conduit. Both the inlet box and the exhaust box are placed above the tail of the engine exhaust conduit, and situated on the outer surface of the chassis. The inlet and exhaust box design prevents dust, dirt and water from entering the gearbox. Furthermore, the conduits are installed on the outer surface of the chassis to enable ease of assembly and maintenance, and to reduce the difficulty of installing other components.
