(54) Fuel pump mounting structure of motorcycle


(57) Disclosed is a fuel pump mounting structure of motorcycle. A motorcycle includes a fuel tank (7) in which a fuel pump (5) assembly is mounted. The fuel tank (7) has a bottom forming an inward recessed portion. The inward recessed portion (74) has an upper end portion (741) and a lower end portion (742). The upper end portion (741) of the inward recessed portion (74) forms a mounting hole (721). The fuel pump assembly is mounted to the mounting hole. The fuel pump assembly includes a support arm (4) and the support arm supports a fuel pump in such a way to allow the fuel pump to extend into and locate close to the lower end portion of the inward recessed portion (74) of the fuel tank (7), so that the operation load of the fuel pump (5) is reduced and fuel drawing efficiency is increased, and further, the maintenance and assembling of the fuel pump (5) is simplified.
