BACKGROUND
[002] The information in this section merely provides background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art(s) for the present disclosure. [003] A two-wheeled vehicle, such as motorized scooter, motorcycle, etc., includes a body frame having a plurality of tubular elements to support an engine of the vehicle. Particularly, an engine hanger is assembled with the body frame and the engine for supporting the engine of the vehicle. The engine hanger is further provided to absorb vibrations and shocks generated in the body frame and the engine. The engine hanger has one end portion assembled with the body frame, the other end portion assembled with the engine, and intermediate portion pivotally coupled with the body frame for providing a structural connection between the body frame and the engine. [004] The engine of the two-wheeled vehicle is generally a heavy assembly, and the body frame is large in length, therefore, assembling and alignment of the engine hanger, the body frame and the engine is difficult. Due to this difficulty, there is a chance of misalignment of the engine hanger with the frame or the engine. Due to such misalignment, the engine hanger is assembled in a pre-compression state, that is undesirable for effective absorption of vibrations and shocks.
