Abstract

DC60 (22/01/53) A vehicle capable of maintaining stable heat exchanger cooling performance. The vehicle includes a head tube, a main frame welded to the head tube to extend rearward and downward, the engine is positioned beneath the main frame and includes cylinders with connecting rods, which are tilted forward and upward at a specified angle, leg guards covering the front of the driver's legs, an internal radiator within the leg guards to cool the engine, and a reservoir located beneath the lower surface of the engine cylinders within the leg guards and connected to the radiator. The vehicle is capable of maintaining stable heat exchanger cooling performance. The vehicle includes a head tube, a main frame welded to the head tube to extend rearward and downward, the engine is positioned beneath the main frame and includes cylinders with connecting rods, which are tilted forward and upward at a specified angle, leg guards covering the front of the driver's legs, an internal radiator within the leg guards to cool the engine, and a reservoir... It is positioned beneath the lower surface of the engine cylinder, inside the leg protection area, and connected to the radiation shield.

Claims (13)

1. A vehicle comprising a head tube, a frame connected to the head tube extending backward and downward, an engine housed beneath the frame and including cylinders with spools, which are tilted forward and upward at a predetermined angle, leg guards for covering the front of the driver's legs, a heat exchanger housed within the leg guards to cool the engine, a reservoir housed beneath the lower surface of the engine cylinders, the reservoir is mounted within the leg guards and connected to the heat exchanger, and an exhaust pipe connected to the engine and positioned on one side of the centerline of the vehicle in the width direction when viewed from the front, where the reservoir is positioned on the opposite side of the centerline of the vehicle from where the exhaust pipe is positioned. 2. The vehicle under claim 1, where the heat exchanger consists of a central core through which the air flows, a pair of tanks arranged with the space specified between them in the width direction of the vehicle so that the central core is installed between them, and a cover provided on one of the tanks, the cover provided on one side of the centerline of the vehicle in the width direction, and a reserve tank provided on the other side in the width direction of the vehicle connected by a pipe to the cover of the heat exchanger provided on one side in the width direction of the vehicle. 3. The vehicle under claim 1, which is further comprised of a front fender that covers the upper part of the front wheel, and in which at least part of the heat exchanger is positioned above the front fender. 4. Vehicles under claim number 1, where the heat exchanger is positioned under the frame. 5. The vehicle under claim number 1, which includes the mounting bracket for installing the reserve tank on the engine. 6. The vehicle under claim 1, where the heat exchanger and reservoir are provided to be covered with leg protection when viewed from the side. 7. A vehicle comprising a head tube, a frame connected to the head tube extending rearward and downward, an engine housed beneath the frame and including cylinders with cylinder spools, which are tilted forward and upward at a predetermined angle, leg guards for covering the front of the driver's legs, a heat exchanger housed within the leg guards to cool the engine, and a reservoir located beneath the lower surface of the engine cylinders. The reservoir is mounted within the leg guards and connected to the heat exchanger, where the leg guards have an opening on their front, and the reservoir is positioned so that it can be visually recognized through the leg guard opening when viewed from the front of the vehicle. 8. A vehicle under claim number 7, where the heat exchanger consists of a core through which the airflow passes, and openings in the leg guards are provided to expose a portion of the reservoir and almost the entire surface area of the front surface of the core of the heat exchanger to the airflow. 9. The vehicle under claim 7, where the heat exchanger consists of a central core through which air flows, a pair of tanks with the space specified between them in the direction of the width of the vehicle so that the central core is mounted between them, and a lid provided on one of the tanks, the lid provided on one side of the centerline of the vehicle in the direction of the width of the vehicle, and a reserve tank provided on the other side in the direction of the width of the vehicle, connected by pipe to the lid of the heat exchanger provided on one side in the direction of the width of the vehicle. 10. The vehicle under claim number 7, which is further comprised of a front fender that covers the upper part of the front wheel, and in which at least part of the heat exchanger is positioned above the front fender. 11. Vehicles under claim number 7, where the heat exchanger is positioned under the frame. 12. Vehicles under claim number 7, which include a mounting bracket for installing a reserve tank on the engine. 13. Vehicles under claim number 7, where the heat exchanger and reserve tanks are arranged to be covered with leg protection when viewed from the side.
