Description

Saddle-ride type vehicle

Technical field

The present invention relates to, for example, a saddle riding light suitable for a scooter-type motorcycle.

It relates to a re-shaped vehicle.

Background technology

In general, an overnight-skew motorcycle has a structure in which the entire body frame is covered by a cover member.

As a cover member for covering the vehicle body frame, for example, there are an eight-strength power par and an undercarriage.

The handle cover is designed so that the handle grips on the left and right sides of the handle bar and the handle levers in front of the handle bars are exposed, with the handle exposed (see JP-A-9-19). Japanese Patent Publication No. 3865/85 (Patent Document 1)).

Further, the under cover is designed to force the lower side surface of the vehicle body frame (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-97260 (Patent Document 2)).

The cover member is required to be excellent in terms of ease of mounting when mounting, and to have a high appearance quality, and the handle force par and the under cover are no exception.

As shown in Patent Document 1, the handle cover has a shape that covers the handle grips while leaving the handle grips on both the left and right sides and the handle cover. Can be adjusted from the front and back centered on the handle grip from the surface It has a shape that can be divided into a front cover and a rear cover.

The handle grip area has a large notch opening from the viewpoint of routing of the handle lever and cables, so that the inside can be seen from there and high appearance quality can be obtained. There was a bad side. It is also conceivable to cover a part of the cutout with a separate cover to improve the appearance quality, but it is also desirable in terms of cost and assemblability, such as an increase in the number of parts. Not good.

On the other hand, as shown in Patent Document 2, the undercover covers the area of the side stand, but the upper side is largely open from the viewpoint of the side stand mounting work. However, only a part of the cover is formed, so that it is difficult to obtain high appearance quality. Disclosure of the invention

An object of the present invention is to provide a saddle-ride type vehicle that can obtain high appearance quality without impairing workability at the time of installation.

In order to achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention, a saddle-ride type vehicle, includes a handlebar having handle grips at both left and right ends, and a handlebar. A pair of left and right handle levers, which are arranged in the vicinity and swing around the base end and operated by the driver, so as to expose the handle grip and the above-mentioned operation parts to the outside. A handle cover for covering the handle, and one end of the handle cover has an operating part of one handle lever penetrating through the handle cover. A first lever opening with a hole shape is provided to allow passage of the handle, and the other end of the handle cover has a cutout shape that opens around the base end of the other handle reper. A second lever opening is provided.

As a result, when the handle cover is attached, the hole-shaped first lever opening penetrates from the inside to the outside with respect to the lever operating portion of one handle lever, and is then notched. By positioning the second lever opening on the lever operating portion side of the other handle lever, post-installation work becomes possible.

In this case, the workability is not impaired at all because the first lever opening of the handle cover may be penetrated from the inside to the outside of the lever operating portion. Moreover, the first lever

—The hole shape of the opening requires a minimum opening area, so that the exposed part is kept small and high appearance quality can be obtained. In addition, it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of parts.

Further, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least a part of the oil case for storing the brake oil for the hydraulic paint is located inside the handle cover, and from outside through the second lever opening. It may be arranged in a visible position.

As a result, the oil case functions as a cover member for blindfolding the notch-opened second lever opening, so that it is possible to improve the appearance quality of the second lever opening side. It becomes. In addition, it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of parts.

In addition, a mechanism is provided for converting the swinging movement of the operation element into a forward / backward movement, and at least a part of a case that covers a part of the mechanism is arranged at a position visible from the outside through the second lever opening. Also good Thus, for example, if the operating mechanism is a throttle mechanism, the operating element is a handle grip or a throttle lever. In addition, in the case of a choke mechanism for improving the startability in cold weather, the operating element becomes a choke lever, and a case that covers a part of these levers blinds the lever opening. Since it functions as a cover member, the appearance quality of the notch-opened second lever opening side can be improved. In addition, it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of parts.

Further, an operation switch may be provided near the opening of the first lever.

As a result, surfaces other than the operation surface of the operation switch, in particular, a portion where the harness protrudes and a bracket for mounting the operation switch become invisible from the outside. The appearance quality can be improved without a separate force-par member that covers surfaces other than the operation surface.

Further, the saddle-ride type vehicle of the second aspect of the present invention is a frame and a side stand supported by the above-mentioned frame, wherein the side stand extends downward. A side stand that can be switched between a use state in which it protrudes and a storage state in which it is stored in a substantially horizontal direction; and a force par that covers the frame. The cover has a side stand. It is characterized in that a stand opening to be penetrated is provided.

This allows the side cover of the undercover to penetrate from the inside to the outside of the stand grounding part of the side stand from inside to outside, making it possible to retrofit the side cover It becomes. In this case, the undercover can penetrate the stand opening from the inside to the outside with respect to the stand ground part of the side stand. The workability is not impaired at all. Moreover, the hole shape of the stand opening requires a minimum opening area, so that the exposed portion is suppressed to be small, and high appearance quality can be obtained.

Further, a tapered surface extending inward may be formed around the stand opening.

This allows the stand opening to be located at the back, making it invisible from the outside and improving the appearance quality.

Further, a suspension unit of a unit swing type engine may be formed inside the force par near the opening of the stand.

As a result, the engine suspension becomes invisible from the outside, so that the appearance quality can be improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
