Abstract

PURPOSE: To enable large capacity of an air cleaner without increasing the width of a motorcycle body by positioning the most front part of a rear wheel rearward of the rear end part of a power unit, and arranging the air cleaner whose width in the right-to-left direction is approximately as large as the width between right and left rear forks in the vicinity of the upper part of the rear fork. CONSTITUTION: An end part of a rear fork 58 is fixed to a front frame 6, and a pair of right and left rear forks are extended rearward in an approximately horizontal direction, and the most front part of a rear wheel 56 is positioned rearward of the rear end of a power unit 44 supported to the lower part of the rear fork 58. A relatively large space S1 whose longitudinal direction is expanded to allow arrangement of an article can be secured in the vicinity of the upper part of the rear fork 58. When an air cleaner 36 whose width in the right-to-left direction is approximately as large as the width of the space between the right and left rear forks is arranged in this article arranging space S1, large capacity of the air cleaner 36 can be obtained without increasing the width of the motorcycle body more than necessary.

The present application is not limited to the above embodiment, but various applications are possible. For example, the air cleaner 36 may be disposed further upward and supported by the rear stay 60 instead of the rear fork 58. Further, the side view shape of the front frame may be an acute bent shape close to a V shape.

The front end portion of the rear fork is fixed to the front frame so that the pair of left and right parts extends substantially horizontally rearward, and the rear wheel of the rear wheel is rearward of the rear end portion of the power unit supported below the rear fork. Since the foremost portion is located, it is possible to secure a relatively large space for arranging articles in the front-rear direction in the vicinity of the upper portion of the rear fork.

As a result, by arranging the air cleaner whose width in the left-right direction is approximately the same as the width of the left and right rear forks in the article disposing space, the air cleaner has a large capacity without unnecessarily increasing the width of the vehicle body. Can be converted. Moreover, since the power unit can be disposed closer to the rear fork, the minimum ground clearance of the vehicle body can be increased.

Further, by fixing the front end of the rear fork to the saddle part of the front frame, the rear fork can be made sufficiently long, so that the front end of the rear wheel is arranged rearward of the rear end of the power unit. As it becomes easier
It becomes easier to secure a large space for arranging articles.

Further, when a scooping portion is provided on the side portion of the air cleaner and the carburetor is arranged in the carburetor mounting space formed by the scooping portion, the carburetor is arranged near the air cleaner and between the left and right rear forks. It is possible to prevent the vehicle body from becoming large. Moreover, since the carburetor and the air cleaner are arranged at a relatively high position above the power unit, the arrangement structure is advantageous for splashing muddy water from the ground.
