The lower portion of the notch 83b is blocked by the wire harness 87 passing through the notch 83 b.

Referring to fig. 6 and 8, the seat frames 34 have stay portions 34a extending downward from the tube portions of the respective seat frames 34.

The one-side mounting portion 59 (fig. 6) of the fender front portion 51 is fixed to the right stay portion 34a by a fastener (not shown) inserted through the one-side mounting portion 59 from the vehicle width direction outer side.

The other side attachment portion 60 (fig. 8) of the fender front portion 51 is fixed to the left stay portion 34a by a fastener (not shown) inserted through the other side attachment portion 60 from the vehicle width direction outer side.

Here, the flow of air flowing to the air inlet 41a will be described.

When the saddle type vehicle 10 travels, air flows on one side (right side) and the other side (left side) of the saddle type vehicle 10 in the left-right direction as traveling wind flowing from the front to the rear.

A part of the traveling wind flowing on the right side of the saddle-type vehicle 10 flows on the right side of the rear fender 27 as one-side traveling wind W1 (fig. 2), and flows into a space 75 between the seat 17 and the fender upper wall portion 53.

Referring to fig. 7, a part of the traveling wind flowing on the left side of the saddle-type vehicle 10 flows on the left side of the rear fender 27 as the other side traveling wind W2, and flows into the space 75.

In detail, the other side traveling wind W2 is blown from the front to the side rib 80, thereby being blocked so that the flow rate becomes low.

The other side traveling wind W2 flows rearward and upward by blowing onto the first side rib 81, then flows rearward and upward by blowing onto the second side rib 82, and then flows upward by blowing onto the third side rib 83. Thus, the flow velocity of the other side traveling wind W2 becomes low, and the other side traveling wind W2 easily enters the space 75.

The first side rib 81, the second side rib 82, and the third side rib 83 become higher toward the rear of the arrangement, and therefore, the other side traveling wind W2 can be blocked efficiently.

A part of the notched portion 83b of the third side rib 83 is blocked by the wire harness 87. Therefore, the degree of freedom of wiring of the harness 87 can be improved by the notch 83b, and the other side traveling wind W2 can be blocked by the harness 87.

The other side traveling wind W2 having a flow velocity reduced by the side rib 80 flows upward along the side rib 80 and the fender side wall portion 55, and flows into the space 75.

Referring to fig. 8, the height of the inner rib 85 closer to the cross rib 71 than the outer rib 86 is greater than the height of the outer rib 86. Therefore, the other side traveling wind W2 can efficiently flow upward along the inner rib 85.

The first side rib 81 and the second side rib 82 block the other side traveling wind W2 in front of the cross rib 71. In addition, the third side rib 83 blocks the other side traveling wind W2 just beside the cross rib 71. Therefore, the other side traveling wind W2 blocked by the side rib 80 can be efficiently caused to flow into the space 75.

Referring to fig. 2, the other side traveling wind W2 flowing from the left side into the space 75 flows inward in the vehicle width direction along the front surface of the other side rib 74 of the cross rib 71, and then flows forward along the vertical rib 72, and flows into the intake port 41a.

The traveling wind W1 flowing from the right side into the space 75 flows inward in the vehicle width direction along the front surface of the one rib 73 of the cross rib 71, and then flows forward along the vertical rib 72, and flows into the intake port 41a.

When the other side traveling wind W2 and the one side traveling wind W1 flow forward along the vertical rib 72, they merge with each other at the position of the vertical rib 72, and flow toward the intake port 41a in a merged state. In the rib 70, the height H2 of the vertical rib 72 is lower than the height H1 of the horizontal rib 71, and therefore, the vertical rib 72 can be prevented from interfering with the merging, and the other side traveling wind W2 and the one side traveling wind W1 can be efficiently merged at the position of the vertical rib 72. This makes it possible to uniformize the flow of air (traveling wind) flowing along the vertical rib 72 toward the air intake 41a to the left and right of the vertical rib 72. Therefore, the one-side traveling wind W1 and the other-side traveling wind W2 can be efficiently guided to the intake port 41a.

Further, since the intake port 41a is offset to the left and right (right) with respect to the center line C, the intake port 41a is located close to the right outer side surface of the saddle-type vehicle 10 and is located away from the left outer side surface of the saddle-type vehicle. Therefore, traveling wind flowing on one of the left and right sides (right side) easily reaches the intake port 41a, and traveling wind flowing on the other of the left and right sides (left side) hardly reaches the intake port 41a. Here, the other side rib 74 on the left side is longer than the one side rib 73 on the right side in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, even when the traveling wind flowing on the left side does not easily reach the intake port 41a, the traveling wind flowing on the left side can be efficiently concentrated by the other side rib 74, and the traveling wind can be efficiently guided to the intake port 41a.

Further, on the left side, the other side traveling wind W2 is blocked by the side rib 80, so that the flow velocity of the other side traveling wind W2 flowing backward strongly can be reduced, and the other side traveling wind W2 can be efficiently guided to the intake port 41a.

Further, by the upper edge 71c of the cross rib 71 being adjacent to the lower surface 17c of the seat 17 from below, leakage of the one-side traveling wind W1 and the other-side traveling wind W2 flowing in the space 75 to the rear of the cross rib 71 can be suppressed. Therefore, the traveling wind can be efficiently guided to the intake port 41a.

As described above, according to the embodiment to which the present utility model is applied, the saddle-type vehicle 10 includes the air intake port 41a and the rear fender 27 disposed above the rear wheel 15, and the rib 70 that guides the air to the air intake port 41a is provided on the upper surface 27a of the rear fender 27. The intake port 41a is an opening provided at an end portion of the tubular intake duct 41 above the rear fender 27, the rib 70 is disposed rearward of the intake port 41a, the rib 70 has a cross rib 71 extending in the vehicle width direction and a vertical rib 72 extending in the vehicle front-rear direction in front of the cross rib 71, the vertical rib 72 extends forward from the side of the cross rib 71 toward the intake port 41a, and the height H2 of the vertical rib 72 is lower than the height H1 of the cross rib 71.

According to this structure, the one-side traveling wind W1 and the other-side traveling wind W2, which are air flowing from the front to the rear of the vehicle, are concentrated by the cross rib 71 extending in the vehicle width direction, and the one-side traveling wind W1 and the other-side traveling wind W2 concentrated by the cross rib 71 are guided by the longitudinal rib 72 extending forward, so as to flow toward the intake port 41a of the intake duct 41. Since the height H2 of the vertical rib 72 is lower than the height H1 of the cross rib 71, the one-side traveling wind W1 and the other-side traveling wind W2 flowing from the left and right sides toward the vertical rib 72 merge with each other at the position of the vertical rib 72, and flow toward the intake port 41a. Therefore, the flow of the one-side traveling wind W1 and the other-side traveling wind W2 flowing along the vertical rib 72 toward the intake port 41a can be made uniform in the left and right sides of the vertical rib 72, and the one-side traveling wind W1 and the other-side traveling wind W2 flowing on the left and right sides of the saddle-type vehicle 10 can be efficiently guided to the intake port 41a. Therefore, the intake efficiency can be improved.

The cross rib 71 has one side rib 73 located on one side of the vertical rib 72 and the other side rib 74 located on the other side of the vertical rib 72.

According to this configuration, the one-side rib 73 and the other-side rib 74 can efficiently concentrate the one-side traveling wind W1 and the other-side traveling wind W2 from both the left and right sides of the vertical rib 72.

The rear end 72a of the vertical rib 72 is connected to the transverse rib 71.

With this configuration, the one-side traveling wind W1 and the other-side traveling wind W2 can smoothly flow from the transverse rib 71 to the vertical rib 72, and the intake efficiency can be improved.

The front surface of the cross rib 71 is curved so as to be recessed rearward in a plan view.

According to this structure, the front surface of the cross rib 71 is curved so as to be recessed rearward, and therefore, the one-side traveling wind W1 and the other-side traveling wind W2 flowing rearward from the front of the vehicle can be efficiently caused to flow toward the longitudinal rib 72 side by the curved shape of the cross rib 71.

Further, a seat 17 for the occupant covering the rear fender 27 from above is provided, and an upper edge 71c of the cross rib 71 is adjacent to a lower surface 17c of the seat 17 from below.

With this structure, the cross rib 71 and the lower surface 17c of the seat 17 can block the passage through which air (traveling wind) flows rearward from the cross rib 71. Therefore, the air can be efficiently concentrated by the cross rib 71.

The air intake 41a is disposed so as to be offset to one side in the left-right direction with respect to the center of the vehicle width, the one side rib 73 is located on the air intake 41a side in the left-right direction, the other side rib 74 is disposed on the opposite side of the air intake 41a in the left-right direction, and the other side rib 74 is longer than the one side rib 73.

According to this structure, the intake port 41a is biased to one side, and therefore, the one-side traveling wind W1 easily flows from one side to the intake port 41a. The distance from the opposite side of the intake port 41a to the intake port 41a in the left-right direction becomes larger, but the other side rib 74 is longer than the one side rib 73, and therefore, the other side traveling wind W2 can be efficiently collected by the other side rib 74, and the other side traveling wind W2 can be supplied to the intake port 41a.

Further, in a plan view, an extension line 72c obtained by extending the vertical rib 72 overlaps the center 41b, which is the left and right center portion of the intake port 41a.

With this structure, the air flowing along the vertical rib 72 can be made to flow to the intake port 41a uniformly in the left-right direction, and the intake efficiency is excellent.

The front end 72b of the vertical rib 72 is located below the center 41b of the intake port 41a.

According to this structure, since the vertical rib 72 can be prevented from blocking the intake port 41a, the intake efficiency is good.

The rear fender 27 has a side rib 80 extending upward from the upper surface 27a, and the side rib 80 is disposed on the outer side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the cross rib 71.

According to this configuration, the side rib 80 disposed on the outer side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the cross rib 71 blocks the other side traveling wind W2 flowing from the vehicle front side to the vehicle rear side, and the other side traveling wind W2 can be caused to flow toward the cross rib 71. Therefore, the other side traveling wind W2 can be efficiently concentrated on the cross rib 71.

In addition, regarding the side rib 80, a plurality of first side ribs 81, second side ribs 82, and third side ribs 83 are arranged in the vehicle front-rear direction, and the heights of the first side ribs 81, second side ribs 82, and third side ribs 83 become higher as they go to the rear of the arrangement.

According to this structure, the plurality of first side ribs 81, second side ribs 82, and third side ribs 83 that increase toward the rear of the vehicle can effectively block the other side traveling wind W2 flowing from the front to the rear of the vehicle. Therefore, the speed of the other side traveling wind W2 can be reduced, and the other side traveling wind W2 can be caused to flow toward the intake port 41 a.

The third side rib 83 has a slit-shaped notch 83b extending downward from the upper edge 83a of the third side rib 83, and the wire harness 87 passes through the notch 83b.

According to this structure, the harness 87 can be routed through the notch 83b, and the other side traveling wind W2 flowing from the front to the rear of the vehicle can be blocked by the harness 87.

The side rib 80 is divided by the notch 83b into an inner rib 85 located inward in the vehicle width direction from the notch 83b and an outer rib 86 located outward in the vehicle width direction from the notch 83b, and the height of the inner rib 85 is greater than the height of the outer rib 86.

According to this configuration, since the height of the inner rib 85 located inward in the vehicle width direction from the outer rib 86 is high, the other side traveling wind W2 can be effectively blocked by the inner rib 85 at a position close to the cross rib 71, and the other side traveling wind W2 can be efficiently concentrated on the cross rib 71.

The first side rib 81 and the second side rib 82 are provided in front of the cross rib 71.

According to this configuration, the other side traveling wind W2 flowing forward of the cross rib 71 can be blocked by the first side rib 81 and the second side rib 82, and the other side traveling wind W2 can be efficiently concentrated on the cross rib 71.

The third side rib 83 is provided at a position overlapping the cross rib 71 in the vehicle longitudinal direction.

According to this configuration, the third side rib 83 can block the other side traveling wind W2 flowing forward of the cross rib 71, and air can be efficiently collected in the cross rib 71.

Embodiment 1 shows an embodiment to which the present utility model is applied, and the present utility model is not limited to embodiment 1.

In embodiment 1 described above, the first side rib 81 and the second side rib 82 are provided at positions forward of the cross rib 71, and the third side rib 83 is provided at a position overlapping the cross rib 71 in the vehicle longitudinal direction, but the present utility model is not limited thereto. For example, at least one of the first side rib 81 and the second side rib 82 may be provided without providing the third side rib 83. In addition, only the third side rib 83 may be provided without providing the first side rib 81 and the second side rib 82.

As shown in fig. 10, above the rear wheels 118, a pair of seat frames 128 (frames) constituting the vehicle frame 112 extend in the front-rear direction. A pair of seat frames 128 are disposed on the left and right sides above the rear wheels 118 (see fig. 9). A pair of seat frames 128 support a seat 130 on which the driver sits from below.

A rear fender 132 is disposed between the seat 130 and the rear wheel 118. The rear fender 132 is supported by the pair of seat frames 128. The rear fender 132 covers the rear wheel 118 from above.

An air cleaner 134 is disposed in front of the rear fender 132. The air cleaner 134 is disposed above the front of the rear fender 132. The air cleaner 134 is disposed between the front of the rear fender 132 and the seat 130. The air cleaner 134 is supported by the pair of seat frames 128. An intake pipe 136 is provided at a right portion of the air cleaner 134. The intake duct 136 extends rearward from a right side portion of the air cleaner 134. The air cleaner 134 purifies air taken in from an intake pipe 136, and supplies the purified air to the engine 126 (see fig. 9).

As shown in fig. 11, a pair of rear suspensions 138 are provided behind the air cleaner 134. A pair of rear suspensions 138 are disposed on the left and right sides rearward of the air cleaner 134. As shown in fig. 9, the right rear suspension 138 connects the rear end portion of the swing arm 116 to the right seat frame 128 at the rear of the air intake pipe 136 (see fig. 11). As shown in fig. 10, a notch 140 is formed in the right side portion of the rear fender 132 in order to avoid interference with the right side rear suspension 138. As shown in fig. 11, the left rear suspension 138 connects the rear end portion of the swing arm 116 (see fig. 9) to the left seat frame 128.

The motorcycle 110 is provided with an air guide wall 142 for guiding air (running air) flowing from the front to the rear to the air cleaner 134 during running.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 12, the wind guide wall 142 is formed on the upper surface 144 of the rear fender 132. The air guide wall 142 is formed on the upper surface of the rear fender 132 so as to be separated from the air cleaner 134. In the plan view of fig. 11, the left end portion (a part of the air guide wall) of the air guide wall 142 overlaps the air cleaner 134. The left end of the air guide wall 142 is located below the air cleaner 134.

The wind guide wall 142 extends rearward from a left end portion of the wind guide wall 142. More specifically, the air guide wall 142 extends obliquely rearward from the left side toward the right side from the left end of the air guide wall 142 that overlaps the air cleaner 134. In the plan view of fig. 11, the left end portion of the wind guide wall 142 is located near the left seat frame 128. The right end portion of the air guide wall 142 is located near the tip (open end) of the air intake duct 136. In the plan view of fig. 11, the right end portion of the wind guide wall 142 is located near the right seat frame 128.

As shown in fig. 12, the wind guide wall 142 increases as it goes rearward. More specifically, the wind guide wall 142 gradually increases as it goes rearward. Accordingly, the lower the air guide wall 142 is below the air cleaner 134, the higher the closer to the intake duct 136. That is, the left portion of the air guide wall 142 needs to be provided between the air cleaner 134 and the upper surface 144 of the rear fender 132, and therefore, the left portion of the air guide wall 142 is set lower than the right portion of the air guide wall 142.

As shown in fig. 13, a wall portion 146 surrounding the right rear suspension 138 is provided on the upper surface 144 of the rear fender 132 at the portion of the notch 140. Accordingly, the wall 146 is located rearward of the intake pipe 136 (see fig. 11). As shown in fig. 14, the rear portion of the wall portion 146 is a stepped wall that gradually approaches the right rear suspension 138 as it approaches upward. Therefore, the space behind the right rear suspension 138 is narrower upward in the space (hollow portion) inside the wall 146.

The wall 146 may be provided at least in front of and behind the right rear suspension 138. That is, the wall portion 146 may not be formed to surround the right rear suspension 138. The front portion of the wall 146 may be a stepped wall that gradually approaches the right rear suspension 138 as it approaches upward.

In the motorcycle 110 (see fig. 9), air (running wind) flows from the front to the rear when running forward. The traveling wind is taken into a space between the air cleaner 134 (see fig. 10) and the upper surface 144 of the rear fender 132 through a gap of the body cover 120 (e.g., a gap of the side cover 122). The traveling wind taken into the space flows rearward from the front along the upper surface 144 of the rear fender 132.

At this time, the traveling wind is guided along the wind guide wall 142 (see fig. 11) to the vicinity of the intake pipe 136. Thereby, the traveling wind guided to the vicinity of the intake pipe 136 is taken into the air cleaner 134 from the end of the intake pipe 136. Further, since the wall portion 146 is provided rearward of the intake pipe 136, traveling wind guided to the vicinity of the intake pipe 136 can be prevented from leaking rearward through the notch 140.

In the above embodiments 1 and 2, the description has been given taking the motorcycle as an example, but the present utility model is not limited to this, and the present utility model is applicable to a 3-wheel saddle type vehicle having 2 front wheels or rear wheels, and a saddle type vehicle having 4 or more wheels.

[ Structure supported by the above embodiment ]

The above embodiment supports the following structure.

The saddle-ride type vehicle according to the present invention has an air intake port and a rear fender disposed above a rear wheel, and a rib for guiding air to the air intake port is provided on an upper surface of the rear fender, wherein the air intake port is an opening provided at an end portion of a tubular air intake duct above the rear fender, the rib is disposed behind the air intake port, the rib has a cross rib extending in a vehicle width direction and a longitudinal rib extending in a vehicle front-rear direction in front of the cross rib, the longitudinal rib extends forward from the cross rib side toward the air intake port, and a height of the longitudinal rib is lower than a height of the cross rib.

According to this structure, the air flowing from the front to the rear of the vehicle can be collected by the cross rib extending in the vehicle width direction, and the air collected by the cross rib can be guided to flow toward the air intake of the intake duct by the longitudinal rib extending toward the front. Since the height of the vertical ribs is lower than the height of the horizontal ribs, air flowing from the left and right sides toward the vertical ribs merges with each other at the positions of the vertical ribs and flows toward the air intake. Therefore, the flow of air flowing along the vertical ribs to the air intake port can be made uniform on the left and right sides of the vertical ribs, and air flowing on the left and right sides of the saddle-type vehicle can be efficiently guided to the air intake port. Therefore, the intake efficiency can be improved.

In the saddle-type vehicle according to structure 1, the cross rib has one side rib portion located on one side of the vertical rib and the other side rib portion located on the other side of the vertical rib.

According to this structure, the air can be efficiently collected from the left and right sides of the vertical rib by the one side rib and the other side rib.

(structure 3) in the saddle-type vehicle of structure 1 or 2, the rear end of the longitudinal rib is connected to the transverse rib.

According to this structure, air can smoothly flow from the transverse rib to the vertical rib, and the intake efficiency can be improved.

(configuration 4) in the saddle-ride type vehicle according to any one of configurations 1 to 3, the front surface of the cross rib is curved so as to be recessed rearward in a plan view.

According to this structure, the front surface of the cross rib is curved so as to be recessed rearward, and therefore, air flowing from the front to the rear of the vehicle can be efficiently caused to flow toward the vertical rib side by the curved shape of the cross rib.

(configuration 5) in the saddle-ride type vehicle according to any one of configurations 1 to 4, the saddle-ride type vehicle is provided with a seat for an occupant covering the rear fender from above, and an upper edge of the cross rib is adjacent to a lower surface of the seat from below.

According to this structure, the passage through which air flows rearward from the cross rib can be blocked by the cross rib and the lower surface of the seat. Therefore, air can be efficiently collected by the lateral ribs.

In the saddle-type vehicle according to structure 2, the air intake port is disposed so as to be offset to one side in the left-right direction with respect to the center of the vehicle width, the one-side rib is located on the air intake port side in the left-right direction, the other-side rib is disposed on the opposite side of the air intake port in the left-right direction, and the other-side rib is longer than the one-side rib.

According to this structure, the air inlet is biased to one side, and therefore, air easily flows from one side to the air inlet. The distance from the opposite side of the air intake port to the air intake port in the left-right direction becomes larger, but the other side rib is longer than the one side rib, and therefore, air can be efficiently collected by the other side rib and supplied to the air intake port.

The saddle-ride type vehicle according to any one of the configurations 1 to 6, wherein an extension line obtained by extending the vertical rib overlaps with a left and right central portion of the intake port in a plan view.

According to this structure, the air flowing along the vertical ribs can be made to flow to the intake port uniformly in the right-left direction, and the intake efficiency is good.

(configuration 8) in the saddle-ride type vehicle according to any one of configurations 1 to 7, the front end of the longitudinal rib is located below the center of the intake port.

According to this structure, the vertical rib can be prevented from blocking the intake port, and therefore, the intake efficiency is good.

The saddle-ride type vehicle according to any one of the configurations 1 to 8 (configuration 9) is characterized in that the rear fender includes a side rib extending upward from the upper surface, and the side rib is disposed on the outer side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the cross rib.

According to this configuration, the side rib disposed on the outer side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the cross rib can block air flowing from the front to the rear of the vehicle and can flow the air to the cross rib. Therefore, air can be efficiently concentrated on the cross rib.

In the saddle-type vehicle according to structure 9, a plurality of the side ribs are arranged in an aligned manner in the vehicle front-rear direction, and the height of the side ribs increases toward the rear of the alignment.

According to this structure, the plurality of side ribs that increase toward the rear of the row can effectively block the air that flows from the front to the rear of the vehicle.

In the saddle-type vehicle according to structure 10, the side rib has a slit-like opening extending downward from an upper edge of the side rib, and the wire harness passes through the opening.

According to this structure, the wire harness can be routed via the notch portion, and the air flowing from the front to the rear of the vehicle can be blocked by the wire harness.

In the saddle-ride type vehicle according to the structure 11, the side rib is divided into an inner rib portion located on the inner side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the notch portion and an outer rib portion located on the outer side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the notch portion by the notch portion, and the height of the inner rib portion is larger than the height of the outer rib portion.

According to this configuration, since the height of the inner rib located further inward in the vehicle width direction than the outer rib is high, air can be effectively blocked by the inner rib at a position close to the cross rib, and air can be efficiently concentrated on the cross rib.

The saddle-ride type vehicle according to any one of the configurations 9 to 12 (configuration 13) is characterized in that the side rib is provided at a position forward of the cross rib or at a position overlapping the cross rib in the vehicle longitudinal direction.

According to this configuration, the side ribs can block the air flowing forward of the cross ribs, and the air can be efficiently concentrated on the cross ribs.

(structure 14) a saddle-ride type vehicle having: a rear wheel; a rear fender that covers the rear wheel from above; and an air cleaner disposed above a front portion of the rear fender, wherein an air guide wall that guides air flowing from a front direction to a rear direction to the air cleaner is provided on an upper surface of the rear fender, a portion of the air guide wall overlaps the air cleaner in a plan view, the air guide wall extends from one side toward the other side in a vehicle width direction of the saddle type vehicle from the portion overlapping the air cleaner, and an intake duct is provided at a portion of the other side in the vehicle width direction of the air cleaner so as to suck the air guided by the air guide wall.

In the structure 14, the air guide wall extends rearward from a portion overlapping the air cleaner toward the intake duct. Thus, during traveling of the saddle-ride type vehicle, the traveling wind is guided by the wind guide wall and guided to the intake duct. As a result, the traveling wind can be efficiently taken into the intake pipe.

(configuration 15) in the saddle-type vehicle of configuration 14, the air guide wall is raised as it goes rearward.

Thus, the air guide wall is lower below the air cleaner, and is higher closer to the intake pipe. As a result, traveling wind taken in from the gap of the body cover (e.g., side cover) between the air cleaner and the upper surface of the rear fender can be easily guided to the intake duct. In addition, the running wind can be suppressed from leaking rearward before being taken into the intake pipe.

(configuration 16) in the saddle-type vehicle of configuration 15, the air guide wall is gradually raised as it goes rearward.

In this case, the traveling wind taken in between the air cleaner and the upper surface of the rear fender can be easily guided to the intake duct, and the traveling wind can be suppressed from leaking rearward before being taken in to the intake duct.

The saddle-ride type vehicle according to any one of the configurations 14 to 16 (configuration 17) further includes a pair of frames provided on both sides in the vehicle width direction, extending from the front side toward the rear side, and disposed in the vicinity of the air guide wall, the pair of frames supporting the rear fender and the air cleaner.

This can guide the traveling wind flowing under the air cleaner to the intake pipe more efficiently.

(structure 18) in the saddle-ride type vehicle of structure 17, the saddle-ride type vehicle further has: a swing arm that pivotally supports the rear wheel; and a rear suspension that connects the frame on the other side in the vehicle width direction to the swing arm at the rear of the air intake pipe, wherein wall portions are provided at the front and rear of the rear suspension at the rear of the air intake pipe on the upper surface of the rear fender.

This can prevent the traveling wind guided to the vicinity of the intake pipe from leaking rearward.

In the saddle-type vehicle according to structure 18, the wall portion is a stepped wall that gradually approaches the rear suspension as it approaches upward.

Thus, air is less likely to enter the space (hollow portion) inside the wall portion from below. In addition, air is less likely to leak upward from the hollow portion. As a result, air accumulation in the hollow portion can be avoided.
