The side covers 52L, 52R are located at the front-rear center of the vehicle body in a side view of the vehicle body, and therefore may also be referred to as center covers.
Fig. 2 is a right side view showing the saddle-type vehicle 10 from the opposite side, i.e., the right side, of fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a right side view showing a state in which the right side cover 52R is removed together with the peripheral structure. Fig. 4 is a right side view showing a state where the side cover 52R is attached together with the peripheral structure. In fig. 3, the side cover 52R is indicated by a two-dot chain line.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, an exhaust device 25 is connected to the front surface of the cylinder portion 24 of the engine 12. The exhaust device 25 includes a first exhaust pipe 25a extending from the front surface of the cylinder portion 24 to below the engine 12, a catalyst portion 25b located downstream of the first exhaust pipe 25a, and a muffler 25c located downstream of the catalyst portion 25 b.
An intake passage 60 is connected to the back surface of the cylinder portion 24. An air cleaner 61 is connected to an end (corresponding to an upstream end) of the intake passage 60 on the opposite side of the cylinder portion 24. The air cleaner 61 is disposed in a space surrounded by the rear frame 20 below the seat 17. Further, the air cleaner 61 is in the shape of a hollow box, and is therefore also referred to as an air cleaner case and an air cleaner box.
The intake passage 60 includes a connection pipe 62 connected to the cylinder portion 24, a throttle body 63 connected to an upstream end of the connection pipe 62, and an air cleaner pipe 64 connecting the throttle body 63 to the air cleaner 61.
Since the connection pipe 62 and the throttle body 63 are disposed between the cylinder portion 24 and the main frame 31 using the space left in the front-rear direction, the connection pipe 62 and the throttle body 63 can be disposed near the vehicle width center, and the projection to the outside in the vehicle width direction can be suppressed.
The air cleaner pipe 64 is connected to the air cleaner 61 across the main frame 31 from the right side. Therefore, the air cleaner pipe 64 is a member that protrudes relatively rightward in the intake passage 60. The air cleaner pipe 64 is provided with a resonator 65 for reducing intake noise. The resonator 65 is disposed in a space above the air cleaner pipe 64, among spaces left on the right side of the main frame 31.
In a space below the air cleaner pipe 64 and above the pivot frame 32, which is a space left on the right side of the main frame 31, a fuse box 66 that forms part of the electrical components of the saddle type vehicle 10, a tank 67 that forms part of the brake device, and an ABS (antilock brake system) regulator 68 are arranged.
The reservoir 67 is a part that stores a part of the brake fluid for the hydraulic path of the rear brake device, and is also referred to as a brake reservoir.
The ABS modulator 68 is a device that controls the braking force of the braking devices of the front and rear wheels. In addition, the ABS modulator 68 can be widely used with known ABS modulators.
Next, the right side cover 52R will be described together with the surrounding structure.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the right side cover 52R is formed as a large side cover extending from below the fuel tank 29 and the seat 17 toward the pivot shaft 22, and covers the air cleaner pipe 64, the resonator 65, the fuse box 66, the tank 67, and the ABS adjuster 68 from the outside in the vehicle width direction, that is, the right side. Since the side cover 52R can prevent the components from being exposed in appearance, the components can be protected from surrounding splashes such as rainwater and cobble.
Fig. 5 is a view showing the side cover 52R. Fig. 6 is a view showing the side cover 52R from a plurality of directions, wherein reference numeral "F" denotes a front surface, reference numeral "R" denotes a rear surface, reference numeral "U" denotes an upper surface, and reference numeral "L" denotes a lower surface.
As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the side cover 52R integrally includes a first side cover portion 71 constituting at least a part of an upper portion of the side cover 52R, a second side cover portion 72 constituting a lower portion of the side cover 52R, a third side cover portion 73 constituting the remaining portion of the upper portion of the side cover 52R, and a fourth side cover portion 74 protruding forward from the first side cover portion 71.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first side cover 71 covers the air cleaner pipe 64, the resonator 65, the fuse box 66, and the tank 67 from the outside in the vehicle width direction, that is, the right side.
The second side cover portion 72 covers the area between the first side cover portion 71 and the pivot frame 32 from the vehicle width direction outer side, i.e., the right side, and covers the ABS adjuster 68 from the vehicle width direction outer side.
In this configuration, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, a first narrow portion 75 recessed inward in the vehicle width direction is integrally formed between the first side cover portion 71 and the second side cover portion 72. The first narrow portion 75 continues across different outer edges (corresponding to between the front edge LF and the rear edge LB) among the outer edges (in this configuration, the front edge LF, the rear edge LB, and the upper edge LU) constituting the outer shape of the side cover 52R.
This can provide the outer appearance of the cover in which the first side cover portion 71 and the second side cover portion 72 are divided by the first narrow portion 75, and the outer design of the side cover 52R can be improved. In addition, since the first side cover portion 71 and the second side cover portion 72 are integrated, the number of components can be reduced as compared with the case where these cover portions 71, 72 are provided separately. Further, since the concave-convex shape formed by the cover portions 71 and 72 and the first narrow portion 75 can be obtained, the rigidity of the side cover 52R can be improved as compared with the case where the cover is formed in a flat plate shape without concave-convex.
A first inner extending wall 76 (fig. 6) that extends inward in the vehicle width direction along an edge portion that constitutes an outer edge of the side cover 52R is integrally formed in the first side cover portion 71. Further, a second inner extending wall 77 (fig. 6) that extends inward in the vehicle width direction along an edge portion that constitutes an outer edge of the side cover 52R is integrally formed in the second side cover portion 72.
The first inner extension wall 76 and the second inner extension wall 77 constitute inner extension walls extending inward in the vehicle width direction from the first narrow portion 75 and portions adjacent to the first narrow portion 75. Therefore, the first inner extension wall 76 and the second inner extension wall 77 function as reinforcing ribs that reinforce the first side cover portion 71 and the second side cover portion 72. The first inner extension wall 76 and the second inner extension wall 77 are connected to each other in a region corresponding to the first narrow portion 75, and therefore also function as a reinforcing rib for reinforcing the connection portion of each side cover portion 71, 72.
That is, the first inner extension wall 76 and the second inner extension wall 77 function as reinforcing members for reinforcing the side cover 52R, and therefore the rigidity of the side cover 52R can be further improved. The first inner extension wall 76 and the second inner extension wall 77 also function as a protection member for protecting the side cover 52R from the surrounding splashes such as rainwater and cobble, and the protection effect of the member covered by the side cover 52R can be further improved.
As shown in fig. 6, the first side cover portion 71 and the second side cover portion 72 are formed in a shape that is convexly curved outward in the vehicle width direction. As a result, the rigidity of the side cover portions 71, 72 itself can be improved, and the curved cover appearance can be obtained, which is advantageous in improving the design of the side cover portions 71, 72, as compared with the case where the side cover portions 71, 72 are formed in a linear flat plate shape.
The third side cover 73 covers the air cleaner 61 exposed rearward of the first side cover 71 from the vehicle width direction outer side, i.e., the right side. A second narrow portion 78 recessed inward in the vehicle width direction is integrally formed between the third side cover portion 73 and the first side cover portion 71. The second narrow portion 78 continues across different outer edges (corresponding to between the upper edge LU and the rear edge LB) among the outer edges constituting the outer shape of the side cover 52R.
This can provide the outer appearance of the cover in which the first side cover portion 71 and the third side cover portion 73 are divided by the second narrow portion 78, and the outer design of the side cover 52R can be improved. Further, since the first side cover portion 71 and the third side cover portion 73 are integrated, the number of components can be reduced as compared with the case where these cover portions 71, 73 are provided separately. Further, since the concave-convex shape formed by the cover portions 71 and 73 and the second narrow portion 78 can be obtained, the rigidity of the side cover 52R can be improved as compared with the case where the cover is formed in a flat plate shape without concave-convex.
A third inner extending wall 79 (fig. 6) that extends inward in the vehicle width direction along an edge portion that constitutes an outer edge of the side cover 52R is integrally formed in the third side cover portion 73. The third side cover 73 is formed in a shape that is convexly curved outward in the vehicle width direction. The third inner extension wall 79 functions as a reinforcing rib, and the third side cover portion 73 is formed in a convex shape, so that the rigidity of the third side cover portion 73 can be further improved, and the protective effect of the member covered by the side cover 52R can be further improved by the third inner extension wall 79. Further, since the third side cover portion 73 can have a curved cover appearance, the third side cover portion 73 is advantageous in terms of improvement in design and rigidity.
The fourth side cover 74 covers the throttle body 63 exposed from the front of the first side cover 71 from the vehicle width direction outer side, i.e., the right side. A fourth narrow portion 80 recessed inward in the vehicle width direction is integrally formed between the fourth side cover portion 74 and the first side cover portion 71. The fourth narrow portion 80 is formed in a shape continuous along a V-shaped contour protruding rearward as viewed from the side of the vehicle body, and is connected to the same outer edge (corresponding to the front edge LF) among the outer edges constituting the outer shape of the side cover 52R.
As a result, the appearance of the cover in which the fourth side cover portion 74 and the first side cover portion 71 are separated by the fourth narrow portion 80 can be obtained, the design of the side cover 52R can be improved, and the number of components can be reduced as compared with the case where these cover portions 74 and 71 are provided.
Further, since the concave-convex shape formed by the cover portions 74 and 71 and the fourth narrow portion 80 can be obtained, the rigidity of the side cover 52R can be improved as compared with the case of a flat plate shape without concave-convex.
Since the fourth narrow portion 80 continues along the V-shaped contour protruding rearward when the vehicle body is viewed from a side view, the design of the fourth side cover portion 74 is improved, and the fourth narrow portion 80 functions as a reinforcing rib, so that the rigidity of the fourth side cover portion 74 can be improved. Further, the fourth narrow portion 80 can provide the side cover 52R with a V-shaped decorative effect protruding rearward, which is advantageous in improving the design of the side cover 52R.
The fourth side cover portion 74 is formed in a shape that is convexly curved outward in the vehicle width direction. Thus, the fourth side cover 74 can have a curved cover appearance, which is advantageous in improving the design of the fourth side cover 74 and improving the rigidity.
The second side cover 72 is provided with an opening 72k (fig. 5 and 6) at a position covering the liquid tank 67, so that the amount of oil in the liquid tank 67 can be checked from outside the second side cover 72.
As shown in fig. 5, a hole 52g for fixing the side cover is provided in a part of the side cover 52R. Further, a well-known locking portion for removably locking the side cover 52R to the vehicle body is provided inside the side cover 52R. The side cover 52R is temporarily fixed to the vehicle body by the locking portion, and the fastening member is fastened to the vehicle body from the vehicle width direction outer side via the hole portion 52g, whereby the side cover 52R is fixed to the vehicle body.
The structure for fixing the side cover 52R to the vehicle body is not limited to the above-described structure, and a known fixing structure can be widely applied.
Next, the left side cover 52L will be described together with the surrounding structure.
Fig. 7 is a left side view showing a state in which the left side cover 52L is removed together with the peripheral structure. Fig. 8 is a right side view showing a state in which the side cover 52L is attached together with the peripheral structure. In fig. 7, the side cover 52L is indicated by a two-dot chain line.
As shown in fig. 7, a canister 82 that constitutes a part of the gas emission prevention device and a battery 83 that constitutes a part of the electrical components of the saddle-type vehicle 10 are disposed rearward of the cylinder portion 24 of the engine 12. The canister 82 and the battery 83 are disposed using a space left of the intake passage 60 and the main frame 31. In this configuration, a canister 82 is provided above the battery 83 and below the fuel tank 29. The canister 82 adsorbs evaporated fuel in the fuel tank 29, and suppresses the evaporated fuel from being discharged to the intake passage 60, thereby causing the evaporated fuel to be discharged to the outside. The battery 83 is disposed below the canister 82 and above the left pivot frame 32, and supplies operating power to the electrical components of the saddle type vehicle 10 and charges the electrical components with the generated power of the engine 12.
As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the side cover 52L is formed as a large side cover extending from below the fuel tank 29 and the seat 17 toward the pivot shaft 22, and covers the canister 82 and the battery 83 from the outside in the vehicle width direction, that is, from the left side. Since the side cover 52L can prevent these members from being exposed in appearance, these members can be protected from surrounding splashes such as rainwater and cobbles.
Fig. 9 is a diagram showing the side cover 52L. In addition, fig. 10 is a view showing the side cover 52L from a plurality of directions, the reference numeral "F" denotes a front surface, the reference numeral "R" denotes a rear surface, the reference numeral "U" denotes an upper surface, and the reference numeral "L" denotes a lower surface.
In the present embodiment, the shape of the side cover 52L is substantially laterally symmetrical to the side cover 52R on the opposite side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle width center. In the following, for ease of explanation, the same reference numerals are given to the portions of the shapes of the respective portions of the side cover 52L that are substantially bilaterally symmetrical to the side cover 52R.
As shown in fig. 9 and 10, the side cover 52L integrally includes a first side cover portion 91 constituting at least a part of the upper portion of the side cover 52L, a second side cover portion 92 constituting the lower portion of the side cover 52L, a third side cover portion 93 constituting the remaining portion of the upper portion of the side cover 52L, and a fourth side cover portion 94 protruding forward from the first side cover portion 91.
As shown in fig. 9 and 10, the first side cover 91 covers the canister 82 and the battery 83 from the outside in the vehicle width direction, that is, the left side.
The second side cover 92 covers a region between the first side cover 91 and the pivot frame 32 from the vehicle width direction outer side, i.e., the left side.
The third side cover 93 covers a region corresponding to the air cleaner 61 exposed rearward of the first side cover 91 from the vehicle width direction outer side, i.e., the left side.
The fourth side cover 94 covers a region corresponding to the throttle body 63 exposed in front of the first side cover 91 from the vehicle width direction outer side, i.e., the left side.
In the present embodiment, the shape of each of the side cover portions 91 to 94 is substantially bilaterally symmetrical to each of the side cover portions 71 to 74 of the side cover 52R on the opposite side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle width center. In the following, for ease of explanation, the same reference numerals are given to the same shapes as those of the respective side cover portions 71 to 74 of the side cover 52R in the respective portions of the respective side cover portions 91 to 94.
A first narrow portion 75 recessed inward in the vehicle width direction is integrally formed between the first side cover portion 91 and the second side cover portion 92. The first narrow portion 75 continues across different outer edges (corresponding to between the front edge LF and the rear edge LB) among the outer edges (in this configuration, the front edge LF, the rear edge LB, and the upper edge LU) constituting the outer shape of the side cover 52L.
This can provide the outer appearance of the cover in which the first side cover portion 91 and the second side cover portion 92 are separated by the first narrow portion 75, and the outer design of the side cover 52L can be improved, and the number of components can be reduced. Further, since the concave-convex shape formed by the cover portions 91 and 92 and the first narrow portion 75 can be obtained, the rigidity of the side cover 52L can be improved as compared with the case where the cover is formed in a flat plate shape without concave-convex.
A first inner extending wall 76 (fig. 9) that extends inward in the vehicle width direction along an edge portion that constitutes an outer edge of the side cover 52L is integrally formed in the first side cover portion 91. Further, in the second side cover portion 92, a second inner extending wall 77 (fig. 9) that extends inward in the vehicle width direction along an edge portion that constitutes the outer edge of the side cover 52L is integrally formed.
The first inner extension wall 76 and the second inner extension wall 77 function as inner extension walls extending inward in the vehicle width direction from the first narrow portion 75 and portions adjacent to the first narrow portion 75. Therefore, the first inner extension wall 76 and the second inner extension wall 77 function as reinforcing ribs that reinforce the first side cover 91 and the second side cover 92.
The first inner extension wall 76 and the second inner extension wall 77 are connected to each other in a region corresponding to the first narrow portion 75, and therefore also function as a reinforcing rib for reinforcing the connection portion of each side cover portion 91, 92. Thus, the first inner extension wall 76 and the second inner extension wall 77 can enhance the rigidity of the side cover 52L, and can protect the side cover 52L from the entry of the surrounding splashes, thereby enhancing the protective effect of the member covered by the side cover 52L.
As shown in fig. 10, since the first side cover portion 91 and the second side cover portion 92 are formed in a shape that is convexly curved outward in the vehicle width direction, the rigidity of the side cover portions 91, 92 itself can be improved, and the design of the side cover portions 91, 92 can be improved, as compared with the case where the side cover portions 91, 92 are formed in a linear flat plate shape.
A second narrow portion 78 recessed inward in the vehicle width direction is integrally formed between the third side cover portion 93 and the first side cover portion 91. The second narrow portion 78 continues across different outer edges (corresponding to between the upper edge LU and the rear edge LB) among the outer edges constituting the outer shape of the side cover 52R.
This can provide the outer appearance of the cover in which the first side cover portion 91 and the third side cover portion 93 are separated by the second narrow portion 78, and the outer design of the side cover 52L can be improved, and the number of components can be reduced. Further, since the concave-convex shape formed by the cover portions 91 and 92 and the second narrow portion 78 can be obtained, the rigidity of the side cover 52L can be improved as compared with the case where the cover is formed in a flat plate shape without concave-convex.
A third inner extending wall 79 (fig. 10) that extends inward in the vehicle width direction along an edge portion that constitutes an outer edge of the side cover 52L is integrally formed in the third side cover portion 93. The third side cover 93 is formed in a shape that is convexly curved outward in the vehicle width direction. Since the third inner extension wall 79 functions as a reinforcing rib and the third side cover portion 93 is formed in a convex shape, the rigidity of the third side cover portion 93 can be further improved, and the protective effect of the member covered by the side cover 52L can be further improved by the third inner extension wall 79. Further, since the third side cover 93 can also have a curved cover appearance, the third side cover 93 is advantageous in terms of improvement in design and rigidity.
A fourth narrow portion 80 recessed inward in the vehicle width direction is integrally formed between the fourth side cover portion 94 and the first side cover portion 91. The fourth narrow portion 80 is formed in a shape continuous along a V-shaped contour protruding rearward as viewed from the side of the vehicle body, and is connected to the same outer edge (corresponding to the front edge LF) among the outer edges constituting the outer shape of the side cover 52L.
As a result, the appearance of the cover in which the fourth side cover portion 94 and the first side cover portion 91 are separated by the fourth narrow portion 80 can be obtained, the design of the side cover 52L can be improved, and the number of components can be reduced as compared with the case where these cover portions 94 and 91 are provided.
Further, since the concave-convex shape formed by the cover portions 94, 91 and the fourth narrow portion 80 can be obtained, the rigidity of the side cover 52L can be improved as compared with the case of a flat plate shape without concave-convex.
Since the fourth narrow portion 80 continues along the V-shaped contour protruding rearward when the vehicle body is viewed from a side view, the design of the fourth side cover portion 94 is improved, and the fourth narrow portion 80 functions as a reinforcing rib, thereby improving the rigidity of the fourth side cover portion 94. Further, the fourth narrow portion 80 can provide the side cover 52L with a V-shaped decorative effect protruding rearward, which is advantageous in improving the design of the side cover 52L.
The fourth side cover portion 94 is formed in a shape that is convexly curved outward in the vehicle width direction. Thus, the fourth side cover 94 can have a curved cover appearance, which is advantageous in improving the design of the fourth side cover 94 and improving the rigidity.
As shown in fig. 9, a hole 52g for fixing the side cover is provided in a part of the side cover 52L. Further, a well-known locking portion for removably locking the side cover 52L to the vehicle body is provided inside the side cover 52L. The side cover 52L is temporarily fixed to the vehicle body by the locking portion, and the fastening member is fastened to the vehicle body from the vehicle width direction outer side via the hole portion 52g, whereby the side cover 52L is fixed to the vehicle body.
The structure for fixing the side cover 52L to the vehicle body is not limited to the above-described structure, and a known fixing structure can be widely applied.
Fig. 11 is a perspective view showing the side cover 52L together with the peripheral structure from the left rear.
As shown in fig. 11 and 8, a chain 12c that is a part of the power transmission member of the saddle-type vehicle 10 passes over the swing arm 16, and is exposed to the surroundings between the drive sprocket 12a (fig. 8) and the chain case 12 d.
In this configuration, the second side cover portion 92 located at the lowermost portion of the side cover 52L covers the chain 12c exposed between the drive sprocket 12a and the chain case 12d from above, whereby the second side cover portion 92 also functions as a chain case.
More specifically, as shown in fig. 11, the second side cover 92 is located at a position that is close to the chain 12c exposed between the drive sprocket 12a and the chain case 12d in the vertical direction to the extent that it functions as a chain case. In particular, the second inner extending wall 77 of the second side cover 92 extending inward in the vehicle width direction from the rear edge of the cover 92 is located near the chain 12c and extends rearward and upward above the chain 12c so as to extend along the chain 12 c. Thereby, the function of the side cover 52L as a chain case is improved.
In this configuration, the side cover 52L is formed in a shape protruding rearward from the first narrow portion 75 corresponding to the connection portion with the first side cover portion 91, and thus the area covering the chain 12c is expanded rearward, thereby sufficiently covering the chain 12c exposed between the drive sprocket 12a and the chain case 12 d.
As described above, the saddle-ride type vehicle of the present embodiment includes the side covers 52R and 52L extending from below the fuel tank 29 and the seat 17 toward the pivot shaft 22, and the side covers 52R and 52L include the first side cover portion 71 that forms the upper portions of the side covers 52R and 52L, the second side cover portion 72 that forms the lower portions of the side covers 52R and 52L, the first narrow portion 75 that forms the narrowed portion between the first side cover portion 71 and the second side cover portion 72, and the inner extending walls 76 and 77 that extend inward in the vehicle width direction from at least one of the first narrow portion 75 and the portion adjacent to the first narrow portion 75.
According to this configuration, the side covers 52R and 52L can have the appearance of a plurality of covers divided by the first narrow portion 75, and the number of components can be reduced. Further, the rigidity of the side covers 52R, 52L can be improved by the concave shape or the rib shape formed by the first narrow portion 75 and the inner extending walls 76, 77. This contributes to improvement in design of the side covers 52R and 52L, and can reduce the number of components and improve rigidity. Further, since the rigidity of the side covers 52R, 52L is improved, the protection of the members inside the side covers 52R, 52L is also facilitated.
The outer edges constituting the outer shape of the side covers 52R, 52L have a front edge LF, a rear edge LB, and an upper edge LU, and the first narrow portion 75 continues across between the front edge LF and the rear edge LB. According to this structure, the concave shape formed by the first narrow portion 75 continues across the different outer edges of the side covers 52R, 52L, so that the rigidity of the side covers 52R, 52L is advantageously improved. Although the case where the first narrow portion 75 is continuous across the front edge LF and the rear edge LB has been illustrated, the configuration is not limited to this, and the first narrow portion 75 may be continuous across any outer edge of the front edge LF, the rear edge LB, and the upper edge LU in the case where the shape of the side covers 52R and 52L is changed, or the like.
The first narrow portion 75 extends continuously over at least one of the upper and lower sides and the front and rear sides of the side covers 52R and 52L. According to this structure, the rigidity of the side covers 52R and 52L can be improved, and the appearance of a plurality of covers divided vertically or horizontally can be obtained, which contributes to improvement of the design of the side covers 52R and 52L.
The first side cover portions 71, 91 and the second side cover portions 72, 92 have a shape protruding outward in the vehicle width direction, and the first narrow portion 75 has a shape recessed inward in the vehicle width direction. According to this configuration, the side covers 52R, 52L can be formed in a concave-convex shape, which contributes to an improvement in rigidity of the side covers 52R, 52L.
The first side cover 71 covers the air cleaner pipe 64 that forms part of the intake passage 60 of the saddle type vehicle 10 and the reservoir 67 that forms part of the brake device from the vehicle width direction outside. With this configuration, the influence of the ambient splash on the air cleaner pipe 64 and the tank 67 (for example, water contact) can be suppressed, and water contact measures and the like corresponding to the respective components can be easily performed.
Further, the first side cover portion 91 covers the battery 83 that constitutes a part of the electrical components of the saddle type vehicle 10 and the canister 82 that constitutes a part of the gas exhaust prevention device. With this configuration, the influence of the surrounding splash on the battery 83 and the canister 82 (for example, water contact) can be suppressed, and water contact measures and the like conforming to the specifications of the respective components can be easily performed.
In addition, the second side cover portion 72 covers the ABS modulator 68 that forms part of the brake device of the saddle-type vehicle 10. With this configuration, the influence of the ambient splash on the ABS modulator 68 (for example, water contact) can be suppressed, and water contact measures and the like conforming to the specifications of the ABS modulator 68 can be easily performed.
The second side cover 72 covers a part of the chain 12c that forms a part of the power transmission member of the saddle-type vehicle 10 from above. With this configuration, the second side cover portion 72 that constitutes the lower portion of the large side cover 52L can be made to function as a chain case that covers the chain 12 c.
The above-described embodiment shows an embodiment of the present utility model, and the configuration of the detail part and the like may be changed as appropriate.
For example, the shape and structure of the side covers 52L and 52R may be changed as appropriate, and for example, the third side cover portions 73 and 93 and the fourth side cover portions 74 and 92 may be omitted, that is, only the first side cover portions 71 and 91 and the second side cover portions 72 and 92 may be omitted. However, the positions, shapes, and sizes of the first side cover portions 71, 91 and the second side cover portions 72, 92 may be changed as appropriate.
The positions of the respective members (for example, the connection pipe 62, the fuse box 66, the tank 67, the ABS regulator 68, the canister 82, and the battery 83) covered by the side covers 52L, 52R may be changed as appropriate, or may be disposed at positions opposite to each other. Further, one of the side covers 52L and 52R may cover a different member from the illustrated member.
In the case where the saddle-type vehicle 10 is an electric vehicle, the energy storage unit may be disposed at the position of the fuel tank 29 or at another position. Even in the case of an electric vehicle, at least the seat 17 and the side covers 52L, 52R are located at the same or close positions as the saddle type vehicle 10. However, the members covered by the side covers 52L and 52R are members mounted on the electric vehicle, and are motor driving members such as auxiliary batteries, ABS regulators, and inverters. The pivot 22 may be located below at least one of the energy storage unit and the seat 17. The side covers 52R and 52L may extend from below at least one of the energy storage unit and the seat 17 toward the pivot 22.
