The assembly (10) for admitting combustion air to the engine of a motorcycle comprises: an air filter (12); a housing (11) for mounting at the top portion of the motorcycle and forming a support for the air filter (12); an air inlet module (13) fitted to the housing and including at least one mov
The assembly (10) for admitting combustion air to the engine of a motorcycle comprises: an air filter (12); a housing (11) for mounting at the top portion of the motorcycle and forming a support for the air filter (12); an air inlet module (13) fitted to the housing and including at least one movable shutter (131, 131'); control means for controlling the movements of the shutter (131, 131'); and assembly means (17, 171-174) for assembling the assembly at the top portion (21) of the motorcycle. The air filter (12) is generally annular and subdivides the inside volume of the housing (11) into a radially inner chamber and a radially outer chamber. The radially inner chamber is fed with air through the air inlet module (13), while the radially outer chamber forms, around the air filter (12), a chamber for stabilizing the flow of air downstream from the filter.

The invention claimed is: 1. An assembly for admitting combustion air into the engine of a motorcycle, the assembly comprising: an air filter; a tube for taking air from the air filter to the engine; a housing designed to be mounted in the top portion of the motorcycle and forming a support for the air filter; an air inlet module fitted to the housing and having at least one shutter movable between a first position in which it shuts an inlet for allowing air to flow towards an inside zone of the housing, situated upstream from the air filter, and a second position in which it allows air to flow into the air opening towards the inside zone of the housing; control means for controlling the movements of the shutter between its first and second positions; and assembly means for mounting the assembly at the top portion of the motorcycle; wherein the air filter is generally annular in shape, wherein, when it is disposed inside the housing, it subdivides the inside volume of the housing into a radially inner chamber and a radially outer chamber, wherein the radially inner chamber is fed with air through the air inlet module, and wherein the radially outer chamber forms around the air filter a chamber for stabilizing the flow of air downstream from the air filter. 2. An assembly according to claim 1, wherein the air filter is annular and subdivides the inside volume of the housing into two portions, namely said upstream zone situated radially inside the filter, and said stabilization chamber situated radially outside the filter. 3. An assembly according to claim 1, wherein the tube disposed between the stabilization chamber and the engine and it is fitted with at least one shutter movable between a first position in which it shuts the tube, and a second position in which it allows a flow inside the tube. 4. An assembly according to claim 1, wherein it includes means distinct from the air inlet module and enabling air to be fed to the inner zone even when the shutter of the air inlet module is in its first position. 5. An assembly according to claim 1, wherein the assembly means comprise means for holding the assembly securely on a beam of the frame of the motorcycle that is situated over the engine. 6. An assembly according to claim 5, wherein the assembly means include a plate suitable for being fitted on the beam and for supporting the housing fitted with the module. 7. An assembly according to claim 6, wherein the assembly means include a screw and a complementary tapped hole carried respectively by the air inlet module and by the plate, or vice versa, the screw and/or a member provided with the tapped hole extending through the upstream zone of the housing and enabling the module and the plate to be assembled together by screw-fastening, the housing being interposed between the module and the plate. 8. A motorcycle fitted with an air admission assembly according to claim 1, situated generally between the seat and the handlebar of the motorcycle, over the engine, the stabilization chamber being disposed generally symmetrically about a midplane of the motorcycle that is vertical in the utilization configuration. 9. A motorcycle according to claim 8, wherein the air inlet module is disposed on the top of the housing, with its opening(s) facing towards the front of the motorcycle. 10. A motorcycle according to claim 8, wherein the air admission assembly occupies substantially the volume occupied by the fuel tank of a conventional motorcycle.
