ABSTRACT:
A gearshift mechanism for a motorcycle (10) or other sequentially geared vehicle having a solenoid assembly (12, 14), a solenoid plunger (18), a switch apparatus (30, 32) and a linkage (22, 26). The switch apparatus (30, 32) has first and second switching positions and is operably connected to the solenoid assembly (12, 14). The linkage (22, 26) is secured to the solenoid plunger (18) and is connectable to a gearshift lever (28) of a motorcycle engine. The solenoid assembly (12) operates on actuation of the switch apparatus to its first switching position (30) causing movement of the solenoid plunger (18) in a first direction along the axis of the solenoid assembly (12, 14). The solenoid assembly (14) operates on actuation of the switch apparatus to its second switching position (32) causing movement of the solenoid plunger (18) in the opposite direction along the axis of the solenoid assembly (12, 14).
