を一層確実なものにするにはカムチェンの長さを短くす
るようにした方が望ましい。In high-speed 4-stroke engines installed in motorcycles, in order to ensure the operation of the intake and exhaust valves at high speeds, a camshaft is placed in the cylinder head. The camshaft receives power from the crankshaft through a cam chain. In this camshaft drive mechanism, if the cam chain bends or stretches and loosens due to fluctuations in engine rotation, the operation of the intake and exhaust valves and the ignition timing will be out of order, resulting in malfunctions such as a drop in engine output. This kind of bending and stretching of kamchen is called cheno. This can be adjusted using a tension adjustment device, but in order to make this more reliable, it is preferable to shorten the length of the cam chain.

の間をカムチエンで連結するようにしたものが提案され
ている（特開昭５６−８３５０７号公報に参照）。Conventionally, in order to shorten the length of the cam chain, instead of inputting power directly from the crankshaft, an intermediate shaft driven by the crankshaft was placed closer to the camshaft than the crankshaft. However, it has been proposed to connect the intermediate shaft and the camshaft with a cam chain (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 83507/1983).

間の制約された車両では好ましくない。However, adding special parts such as the intermediate shaft increases the number of parts accordingly, leading to increased costs and weight due to increased assembly man-hours. Further, extra space is required to arrange the intermediate shaft, which results in an increase in size, which is not preferable for vehicles with limited installation space, such as motorcycles.

ことを特徴とするものである。The present invention achieves the above object by disposing a crankshaft below the cylinder, disposing a transmission behind the crankshaft, and disposing a balancer shaft interlocking with the crankshaft above an intermediate region between the transmission and the crankshaft. In a four-stroke motorcycle engine in which a camshaft for a valve train is disposed in the cylinder head, the balancer shaft and the camshaft are connected by a cam chain that runs diagonally in the axial direction of the cylinder, and the cam chain is connected to the camshaft. It is characterized in that a tension adjustment device is placed in the space on the side closer to the cylinder.

以下、本発明を図に示す実施例により説明する。The present invention will be explained below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

It is a cycle engine and is mounted with the direction shown by arrow F as the direction of travel. In this engine, 1 is a cylinder extending slightly diagonally in the vertical direction, 2 is a cylinder head attached to the upper part of the cylinder 1, and 3 is a crankcase attached to the lower part of the cylinder 1.

The signal is transmitted to the rear wheels (not shown) via the .

。The above-mentioned driving of the camshaft 13 is performed without winding the cam chain 16 directly around the crankshaft 4.
Since the cam chain 16 is wound around the balancer shaft 8 which is located closer to the camshaft 13 than the cam chain 13, the length of the cam chain 16 is shorter than that when the cam chain 16 is wound directly around the crankshaft 4. Moreover, in order to shorten the length of the cam chain 16 in this way, the balancer shaft 8 conventionally attached to the engine is effectively utilized, and no special intermediate shaft is added. This increase will not result in an increase in assembly man-hours or weight. Furthermore, since the existing mechanism is used, there is no need to increase the space.

Since the chain tension adjustment device 18 is arranged using the engine 7, the engine does not become large and can be made extremely compact.

Moreover, because the chain tension adjustment device is arranged in the space created on the cylinder side of the cam chain due to such a configuration,
The entire device can be made compact without causing an increase in size.
