Abstract

The present invention relates to a muffler supporting structure of a saddle-ride vehicle. The present invention provides a muffler supporting structure of a saddle-ride vehicle capable of increasing configuration degrees of freedom of a muffler under a condition that the muffler is supported by a supporting member at a power unit. A unit-swing-type motorcycle comprises a power unit (14) and a rear wheel (16), integrately constituted from the power unit to an axle (39) of the rear wheel, performing swing, the unit-swing-type motorcycle being provided with: an exhaust pipe (45) deriving exhaust gas from the power unit; a muffler (46) connected to an end portion of the exhaust pipe; and a muffler support (47) for supporting the muffler and constituting a truss structure to combine an upper pipe part (81), a lower pipe part (82) and connecting pipe parts (86, 87). The muffler support is mounted to the power unit. In the muffler supporting structure of the motorcycle as viewed in a vehicle side, the muffler support is at least partially overlapped with an outer cylinder (46A) of the muffler.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a muffler supporting structure of a saddleriding type vehicle in which a muffler is supported on a power unit that oscillates integrally with drive wheels. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a rear wheel is integrally attached to a power unit via an axle, and a unit-swing type saddle-riding vehicle in which the power unit and the rear wheel integrally swing is known (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). The muffler is supported on the power unit by the muffler support bracket. [0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-230756 [0004] In the saddle type vehicle disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the power unit swings simultaneously with the swing of the rear wheels, a predetermined space needs to be provided between the vehicle body frame and the muffler support bracket on the power unit side. For this reason, there are restrictions on the arrangement of the muffler...
