Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1683959A1] To lower the total height of a vehicle body by lowering an air cleaner as much as possible, which air cleaner is disposed above a bank valley in a V-type engine. An air cleaner 20 is disposed above a bank valley 39 formed by front and rear cylinders 23 and 24 of a V-type engine 10. Throttle bodies 35 and 37 are disposed in the bank valley 39, and the upper ends thereof are connected to first and second funnels 33 and 34 obliquely positioned in the air cleaner 20. In an air cleaner box 30 constituted of upper and lower cases 31 and 32, a filter element 22 is disposed so as to overlap the first funnel 33 in a side view, and an air intake duct 21 connected to the filter element 22 is extended to a point above the front cylinder 23 from the front side of the bottom of the lower case 32, and is allowed to open forward.
