Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, it is necessary to suppress the temperature rise of the electrical components of the power supply system such as regulators and relays because a relatively large current flows, and in the case of motorcycles, it is necessary to pay attention to the influence of engine heat.

Embodiment Construction

[0036] Hereinafter, a motorcycle 1 (a straddle-type vehicle) according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. figure 1 It is a left side view showing a schematic structure of the motorcycle 1 with lamps, fairings, etc. removed, figure 2 It is a top view with the fuel tank and seats removed. In addition, the concept of direction used in the following description is based on the direction seen by a driver (user) riding a motorcycle.

[0037] The motorcycle 1 includes a front wheel 2 as a driven wheel, and a rear wheel 3 as a driving wheel. The front wheel 2 is rotatably supported by the lower ends of a pair of left and right front forks 4 extending approximately in the vertical direction, and the upper portion of the front forks 4 is supported by a steering shaft (not shown) via a pair of upper and lower brackets 5 . The steering shaft is inserted and rotatably supported in a head pipe 6 constituting a part of the body fram...

Abstract

The present invention shortens the harness of a power supply system which is thick, heavy and difficult to assemble as much as possible to improve workability in a saddle-type vehicle, such as an automatic two-wheeled vehicle, and reduce the weight and cost of the saddle-type vehicle. An air cleaner (29) and a fuel tank (30) are both disposed toward the rear so as to be posteriorly separated from a head pipe (6). A regulator (41), a relay box (42), and a fuse box (43) are disposed in an electronic component installment space (S) located between the head pipe (6) and the air cleaner (29) and the fuel tank (30). The fuel tank (30) is disposed toward the rear such that the rear end portion of the fuel tank (30) is positioned more rearward and downward than the rear end of a main frame (8).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is associated with a straddle-type vehicle such as a motorcycle, and relates to the layout of electrical equipment of a power supply system such as a regulator and a relay box into which relatively large current flows. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in straddle-type vehicles such as motorcycles, various studies have been conducted in order to secure a space for disposing vehicle equipment such as engine parts and electrical equipment. In a motorcycle described in Patent Document 1 as an example, a component mounting member made of resin is surrounded by a main frame that branches from the head pipe to the left and right and extends rearward, and is sandwiched between the upper fuel tank and the lower fuel tank. The air chambers are arranged in such a manner that a plurality of components are mounted in the component mounting member. [0003] Mounting arms, locking pieces, guide pieces, etc. are integrally formed in...
