Abstract (en)

Problem To enhance cooling efficiency by making cooling wind smoothly flow from a cooling fan to an exhaust port in a radiator for a small-sized vehicle where a radiator is arranged on the side of a crankcase forming a part of an engine main unit provided with a water jacket and mounted on a body frame, the cooling fan that sucks cooling wind to pass the radiator is attached to one end of a crankshaft and is arranged inside the radiator and a shroud having the exhaust port and covering the cooling fan from the side is provided between the radiator and the crankcase. Solution A current plate 122 for obstructing a flow of cooling wind from a cooling fan 97 to the side of a crankcase 21 in a part corresponding to an exhaust port 108 is fixed not on the sides of the exhaust port 108 and the cooling fan 97 but on the side of the crankcase 21.
